history

The university was founded in Osijek in 1975. It has a long history as its teacher training has a long tradition. This tradition goes back to the years 1707 and 1724. At that time there were only two higher education institutions in Osijek , namely philosophy and theology .

The Strossmayer University has also changed its name several times. It is also known as the Pedagogical University because it has continued the tradition of the teacher training institute and the pedagogical academy. In the Pedagogical Academy, teachers were trained to work in primary schools. It was not until the 1970s that teachers were also trained for middle school classes.

Construction began in 1894 and ended in 1895. The construction company was O. Priester und Deutsch from Zagreb and the university building was initially intended for the elementary school. The Strossmayer University is not only a university, but also an important cultural asset of the city of Osijek.

It is named after the Catholic theologian and politician Josip Juraj Strossmayer (1815–1905), who was born in Osijek .
