About

The University of Koblenz and Landau (German: Universität Koblenz-Landau) was a German public university located in Koblenz and Landau, Rhineland-Palatinate, which primarily focused on teacher education. After starting to reform its teacher education in the 1960s, Rhineland-Palatinate merged several schools of education to form the Erziehungswissenschaftliche Hochschule Rheinland-Pfalz (EWH) (College for Pedagogy Rhineland-Palatinate) in 1969, which grew in size and status until it was formally closed and restructured as a proper university in 1990. The new university was unique in Germany in that it had two campuses that were on opposite ends of the state and essentially functioned as two separate universities, complete with their own staffs, administration and student culture, with little to no interaction with their counterparts. To not privilege one campus, the president's office and central administration were located in the state capital Mainz. After years of criticism of this convoluted, inefficient and expensive structure, the state restructured its universities, leading the university to formally disband in 2023. The Koblenz campus was repurposed as the University of Koble
