The old Fridtjof-Nansen-Haus in Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße: Seat of the WBZ Ingelheim until 2017

As early as 1947, the elementary school teacher Hans-Heinz Eppelsheimer began building an adult education center in Ingelheim. In 1952 a youth education center followed. In 1955, the Association of Friends and Supporters of the Ingelheim Adult Education Center was founded as part of a citizens' initiative, which was renamed the Association of Friends of the Fridtjof-Nansen-Haus eV in 1970. In 1956 the music school was founded. In 1957 the Fridtjof-Nansen-Haus was built on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße, which was the seat of the WBZ Ingelheim until March 2017.
