history

Today's college was founded in 1874 by Franz Xaver Haberl (1840–1910) as the world's first “Catholic church music school”. Right from the start, it had international significance beyond the German-speaking area. Since 1909, the school has been sponsored by the church “ Stiftung Kirchenmusikschule Regensburg”, which is affiliated to the diocese of Regensburg . In 1910 the school received state approval from Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria . On January 1, 1973, the church music school was converted into the "Academy for Catholic Church Music and Music Education". Cooperation agreements with the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts made it possible to take diploma exams.

In November 2001, the school was raised to the rank of a music college and has been named since then. The founding rector was Klemens Schnorr . From 2003 to 2011 Franz Josef Stoiber , who was also the cathedral organist of Regensburg Cathedral , was the rector of the university. During this time, the university building was completely renovated. In addition, the church music and music education profile was strengthened through the implementation of the European study reform (Bachelor / Master). Stefan Baier has held the office of rector since October 2011.

Grand Chancellor of the university is the incumbent bishop of the Diocese of Regensburg in personal union .
