history

The church music school, founded in 1948, was initially temporarily housed in Erlangen and moved to Bayreuth in 1953. The predecessor institute was the "Private Organist School" founded in 1921 by Heinrich Schmidt in Bayreuth. In Bayreuth, the regional church erected a building specially designed for the purposes of the church music school in 1953, which was built specifically for the training of full-time church musicians and the associated spatial requirements. In 2009 a new extension was inaugurated.

The former church music school became a state-recognized specialist academy in 1973. In 2000 the state synod re-established the state-recognized college for church music as the successor institute of the specialist academy, and church music director Karl Rathgeber was appointed the founding rector . He was responsible for setting up the university and headed it as the re-elected rector until September 30, 2011.
