history
In 1911 was in Heidelberg by Maria Countess Graimberg-Bellau initiated Social Women's School of Heidelberg founded. It existed until 1971 as a higher technical school for social work sponsored by the German Caritas Association ; from 1971 until its dissolution in 1979 as the Heidelberg department, it was integrated into the Catholic University of Freiburg, making it the oldest predecessor of today's university .
At the end of the First World War , the first social schools were built in Freiburg im Breisgau . In 1919, initiated by the Catholic Women’s Association in Freiburg, the association Sozialpolitische Frauenschule Freiburg e. V., the sociopolitical women's school, the training company. An important concern of the founder of the German Caritas Association Lorenz Werthmann was the qualification of the employees. The Freiburg Caritas School was created in 1920 with the aim of preparing for Caritas work in the parishes. Caritasschule and women's school were run in the form of a working group together with the Verein Sozialpolitische Frauenschule until 1925.
From 1927 the Caritas Association continuously offered retraining courses for its male employees. The welfare school was set up in 1930 to prepare for the final examination for state recognition as a welfare worker. In 1933 it was renamed "Seminar for welfare workers". Both schools, the Social Women's School of the German Caritas Association and the seminar for welfare workers of the German Caritas Association, merged in 1969 to form the Higher Technical School for Social Work at the German Caritas Association and in 1971 became part of the college as a social work department.
In 1927, the youth leader seminar founded by Maria Kiene at the German Caritas Association was a third predecessor of the Catholic University of Freiburg. This seminar qualified practically active kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers for management and teaching tasks in a one-year advanced training with a state final examination .
From 1947 the youth leaders' seminar trained social pedagogues in two-year basic training courses as a higher technical school for social pedagogy. In 1971 this facility was also integrated into the University of Applied Sciences as a social pedagogy department.
The basic structure of the new university of applied sciences established in 1971 was completed by the integration of the curative education seminar at the German Caritas Association . This seminar was founded in 1965 and has now been incorporated into the university as a specialty pedagogy . There was also a religious education department (1973), a nursing department (1992) and a management department (2003).
On October 1, 2010, the university was renamed from the Catholic University of Applied Sciences Freiburg to its current name.
On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the KH Freiburg organized a symposium on November 11, 2011 with the topic "The Catholic University of Freiburg in the network of the Church and its Caritas".
