Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg

The University of Fine Arts Hamburg operates from a historic brick building designed by Fritz Schumacher, featuring specialized studios and workshop spaces across multiple floors.

Founded in 1767 as Hamburger Gewerbeschule, the institution received university status in 1970 and has educated generations of artists through various political changes.

The university offers programs in sculpture, painting, typography, photography, and time-based media, contributing significantly to Hamburg's creative development.

Students at HFBK Hamburg work in individual studios under professional guidance, with access to technical facilities and a specialized art library.

Two memorial stones, known as stolpersteine, were placed at the university in 2009 to remember faculty members Friedrich Adler and Hugo Meier-Thur.
