history
On May 1, 1909, the "Brethren House Tabor" was founded by Pastor Theophil Krawielitzki in Marburg-Wehrda as an institution of the German Community Diakonieverband (DGD). In 1924 the company moved to its current location in the Ortenberg district of Marburg. In the following years, the training period was gradually extended from two to four years. After 1933 the Brüderhaus took a neutral to positive attitude towards the Nazi state. The training company was inactive from 1939 to 1945. Pastor Erich von Eicken was a formative theological teacher in the 1950s. Pastor Theo Wendel took over the leadership of the seminar from 1969 to 1982, and from 1983 to 1996 the training was further developed under the direction of Werner Stoy. With the admission of the first women to study, the Brothers House became the "Tabor Theological Seminary" in 1998. In 1999, the training within the CTL consortium was recognized by Middlesex University in London with a BA in Theology. In January 2009, the institution was accredited as a university by the Science Council. On February 18, 2009, it was recognized as a university by the State of Hesse and renamed "Evangelische Hochschule Tabor".
