After its closure in 1968, the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach am Main and the Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd took over the term Hochschule für Gestaltung as well as a large part of the teaching concept of the previous institution in 1970 and 1971 . Part of today's Bremen University of the Arts also carried the term University of Design from 1970 to 1988.

Since the 1990s, for example, other art colleges have referred to themselves as HfG.
