History

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität was founded in Ingoldstadt in 1472. Today's University of Excellence has been located in Munich since 1826. In 1974, the then Faculty of Economics was split into the Faculty of Business Administration and the Faculty of Economics. Our institute was founded as a result. Today, the Faculty of Business Administration with our institute is one of the most renowned faculties in Europe.
