History

The Free State of Bavaria founded the university of applied sciences in the heart of Ansbach in 1996, at a site where soldiers had been trained for over 250 years. In the 18th century, a barracks was built by the margrave's master builder. Around the start of the 20th century, the barracks had been replaced by the Hindenburg-Barracks, today's red-brick building. At first this building was used by the German Reichswehr and Wehrmacht until the end of World War II in 1945. The United States Army used it for almost a half century until 1992 when the US Administration gave it to the Free State of Bavaria. The Free State of Bavaria invested over 50 million Euro in renovating the buildings and making it ready for academic use. All the buildings have been renovated with disability-friendly facilities.

Notable Students

There are about 90 German Olympic athletes studying on the campus. The most famous student is probably Kati Wilhelm, a multiple Olympic and World Champion in biathlon. Other notable sportspeople who have studied on the International Management programme at the University include biathlete Michael Greis[4] and ski jumper Severin Freund.[5]
