About Theologische Hochschule Ewersbach

Theologische Hochschule Ewersbach (THE) is a small, state-recognised university of applied sciences (Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften) in Dietzhölztal-Ewersbach, Hesse, Germany. It is sponsored by the Bund Freier evangelischer Gemeinden in Deutschland (Association of Free Evangelical Churches in Germany) and trains pastors, missionaries, and community ministers. The institution traces its roots to a preacher school founded in 1912 and achieved full university status recognition from the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts in 2011.

The THE offers four degree programmes entirely within evangelical theology and related ministry disciplines: two bachelor's and two master's degrees. All programmes are taught in German and are closely integrated with practical church and community work. The accreditation was most recently renewed in 2021 for a five-year period.

With approximately 70 students (Sommersemester 2026) and nine full-time faculty members, the THE is one of the smallest accredited higher-education institutions in Germany. It operates a residential campus model, with on-campus dormitory accommodation available for single students and a strong communal-life emphasis built into the curriculum.
