19th century university student records

[Jane Margaret]

According to family folklore, my great grandfather attended university or seminary sometime between 1875-1883 in Germany. Where can I find records of students attending university during that time period? Thanks —

Hello,

do you have a city where he could have visited a university? Where did he live? Maybe universities in these cities have there former Matrikula online?

Otherwise...this might be a start https://www.familia-austria.at/index.php/en/
