history
Foundation of the Heidelberg University of Education on May 10, 1962
An acute teacher shortage after World War II was countered with one-year short courses to train teachers: Two-year training courses for high school graduates were set up in Heidelberg and Karlsruhe, which were renamed nationwide as "Pedagogical Institutes" when the state of Baden-Württemberg was founded in 1952. In July 1958, the "Law on the Training of Elementary School Teachers" in Baden-Württemberg set the course for the establishment of independent universities of teacher education, which should combine scientific research and teaching with the requirements of school practice. The Heidelberg University of Education was opened with a ceremony on May 10, 1962. The "Law on the Legal Status of Universities of Education and Professional Education Universities" of July 26, 1971 (PH Status Act) recognized the universities of teacher education in Baden-Württemberg with the status of academic universities. Like universities, they should be able to work “freely in research and teaching” and were no longer confessional.
Expansion through educational expansion
In the course of the educational expansion of the 1960s, the Heidelberg University of Education were affiliated with other areas: for example, real teacher training (1968) and that of special education teachers (1962–1968). The diploma education course with a focus on school education and special education was established in 1973. The number of predominantly female students rose considerably (from 711 in 1963 to 3,350 in the 1975/76 winter semester). This made a larger number of teachers, the new building and renting of buildings necessary in the 1970s. The university now has 14 locations in the Heidelberg city area (as of 2019).
Equality with universities
In 1977 the “Law on the University of Education in the State of Baden-Württemberg” put the expansion of the Heidelberg University of Education into a scientific university on a secure basis. This was also associated with the granting of the restricted right to confer doctorates (unrestricted since 1987). In 1995 the “Law on Universities of Education” came into force: It allows universities of teacher education to have the same scientific character in research and teaching as universities. The university initially received the limited right to habilitation. With the new State University Act of Baden-Württemberg from 2005, the universities of teacher education received the unrestricted right to habilitation, they are "educational science universities with a university profile".
