Former schools

Hochschule für Druck und Medien was founded in 1903, based on an earlier technical school for printing founded in 1853 as the Fachschule für Buchdruckgewerbe Stuttgart. The Hochschule für Bibliotheks-und Informationswesen was founded in 1942 as Büchereifachschule Stuttgart.[1] Both are now defunct after their union to form Media University.
