history

History before 1962

The Franciscan in the center of the city

In 1825, the first forerunner of the pedagogical college was founded as a Catholic teacher training seminar in the former Franciscan male monastery . In 1827, the pedagogue and clergyman, modern in his views on teacher training, Matthäus Cornelius Münch was appointed first rector. During this time, teacher training took place in connection with a practice school.

In 1874 there was an innovation for school education in Württemberg by the seminar teacher Engelbert Mager . He introduced blackboard signs in lessons in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

In 1899 the preparation institutes were nationalized . Five years later the seminar moved to the new building in Lessingstrasse.

The National Socialists closed the Gmünder seminar in 1937 and moved it to Rottweil . The seminar building was converted into an orphanage . After the war, teacher training was resumed in 1946 in the form of a teachers' college. A year later this seminar was called the Pedagogical Institute .

History of the Pedagogical University

On May 4, 1962, the Pedagogical Institute was converted into the first pedagogical university in the state of Baden-Württemberg, whereby the university was only expanded into a scientific university nine years later. Due to the increasing number of students, the move from the city center to the Hardt followed in 1972, making it possible to open the senior university in 1982. Only the music department remains in the old PH in the city center. After the universities of education were granted the shared right to award doctorates in 1978, the first doctorate at the university of education in Schwäbisch Gmünd was awarded in 1983, which is also the first ever doctorate at a university in Baden-Württemberg. This shared right to award doctorates was then expanded in 1987 to an undivided right to award doctorates.

In 1997, the university received the right to habilitation in cooperation with the Universities of Ulm and Tübingen , which was extended to an unrestricted right to habilitation in the new state university law in 2005 through the change in status to university . In the 2013/14 winter semester, for the first time, more new students were enrolled in bachelor's and master's degree programs than in traditional teacher training programs. The university management saw its role as an educational university institution, as an educational university, confirmed by the number of students.

In order to do justice to the increased number of students, the new canteen will be inaugurated in 2006 , whereby the old canteen can be converted into event rooms and student workplaces.
