history

Since 1948 professors from the Philosophical-Theological University of Fulda, now the Faculty of Theology, have given lectures in Marburg. However, the seminar as an institution did not come into being until 1963 through an exchange of letters between the then Hessian Minister of Education, Ernst Schütte and Bishop Adolf Bolte from Fulda . Since then, there has been a close cooperation with the Philipps University, which was confirmed by a cooperation agreement in 2016. Before the Institute for Catholic Theology was established with a corresponding range of courses at the University of Kassel , which was only founded in 1971, the Marburg seminar was the only institution in the diocese of Fulda where high school teachers were trained for Catholic religious instruction.

In 2015, Bishop Heinz Josef Algermissen incorporated the seminar of the Fulda Theological Faculty, which has since been directly supported by the diocese, which now has a Marburg campus. Gerhard Matern and Harald Wagner were the leaders of the seminar for many years , from 2012 to 2017 it was led by the moral theologian Rupert M. Scheule , and Cornelius Roth has headed the facility since 2018 . Currently (2016) there are around 60 students enrolled in the seminar.
