The educational institution was founded in 1945 and is maintained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover .

On April 1, 1955, Karl Ferdinand Müller took over the management of the church music school as director, Werner Immelmann was his deputy as church music director (KMD) . As the successor to the Hanover regional church office, the church music school was housed in the Hanns-Lilje-Haus from 1957 "in the immediate vicinity of the Marktkirche " . The building, which was then used as an education and training facility for church musicians, also served as a student residence .

The holdings of the Hannover Church Music School included historical songs, for example a collection of evangelical chorales by the composer and music director Johann Balthasar König from the first half of the 18th century, which were later reprinted for bookshops.

Even after the church music school in Hanover was closed in 1973 and also after the inauguration of the Hanns-Lilje-Haus as a conference center on April 12, 1991 by the then regional bishop Horst Hirschler , the institution was initially still strongly focused on the field of church music before it was also opened to other target groups.
