Philosophisch-theologische Hochschule Freising, Catholic educational institution in Freising, Germany
The Philosophical-Theological University occupied a building on Cathedral Hill, providing higher education focused on Catholic theology and philosophical studies.
Established in 1834 after relocating from Landshut, the institution operated until 1969 when it merged with Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
Students received comprehensive training in Catholic theology and philosophy, preparing for priesthood and religious education positions within the Catholic Church.
The former university building now houses the Freising Cathedral Library, containing historical text collections and theological documents from the institution.
Joseph Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI, studied at this institution during his preparation for the Catholic priesthood.
