History
The Fachhochschule Dusseldorf emerged as the other colleges in the Federal Republic of Germany in the course of reforms in education in the Federal Republic of Germany, which began in the late 1960 's. In 1971 the State School of Engineering Dusseldorf, the group of works of architecture and interior architecture of the art school in Krefeld, the Higher Technical School of Social Work, the Peter- Behrens- Werkkunstschule Dusseldorf, the Higher College of Social and branch Dusseldorf the Higher business school Mönchengladbach were integrated into the FH D.

This strong growth quickly led to spatial constraints. Therefore, attracted 1976 the departments of social work and social - the predecessor of the existing since 2003 Department of Social and Cultural Studies - into a new building on the campus of today's Heinrich- Heine University. A year later, the Department of Economics followed there. The departments of architecture and design could be appropriate only in 1983 housed in modern equipped rooms. With 1,100 students, the new building in the Georg- Glock -Strasse, which is also equipped with a dining hall for 350 people and a library on the ground floor was purchased.
The decorated in winter semester 1991/92 Course microelectronics and the study microsystems technology were initially housed in the Vocational Training Centre at Hammfelddamm in Neuss, but relocated in 2003 to a new building at Kennedy dam ( in the vicinity of the Georg- Glock -Straße).
End of 2000, the Department of Media with the degree audio and visual technology, which has emerged from the preexisting in the Department of Electrical Engineering degree sound, and the Department of Media Technology has been established. Already, the course sound was unique by its interdisciplinary structure in cooperation with the neighboring Robert Schumann University Dusseldorf, which ensures both a technical and a musical education in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Move
The two sites will be merged by the construction and property NRW in the course of a university new building. Abolition of compulsory military service and transition to high school after class 12 result 2013 in an increased demand for places. The new campus on the old slaughterhouses and stockyards in Derendorf created according to the plans of Nickl & Partner Architekten AG. Library and Campus IT will be integrated into historic buildings on campus. The realization is planned for summer 2015. The project has come through investigations into corruption at the BLB in the headlines.
