Arts school based in Essen, Germany
The Folkwang University of the Arts is a university for music, theater, dance, design, and academic studies, located in four German cities of North Rhine-Westphalia . Since 1927, its traditional main location has been in the former Werden Abbey in Essen in the Ruhr area, with additional facilities in Duisburg , Bochum , and Dortmund , and, since 2010, at the Zeche Zollverein , a World Heritage Site also in Essen.[1] The Folkwang University is home to the international dance company Folkwang Tanz Studio (FTS). Founded as Folkwangschule , its name was Folkwang Hochschule (Folkwang Academy) from 1963 until 2009.

History
Folkwang-Hochschule
The university shares its unusual name with the Museum Folkwang founded in 1902 by arts patron Karl Ernst Osthaus . The term Folkwang derives from Fólkvangr , the Old Norse name of a mythical meadow where the dead gather who are chosen by Freyja , the Norse goddess of love and beauty, to spend the afterlife with her.[2] The school's founders, opera director Rudolf Schulz-Dornburg [de ] , stage designer Hein Heckroth and choreographer Kurt Jooss , regarded this Folkwang as a symbol for the arts as a unified whole, rather than divided into separate classes. The Folkwangschule für Musik, Tanz und Sprechen (Folkwang School for Music, Dance, and Speech) opened in 1927 in Essen, and in 1928 a previously established school of design merged with the institution.
In 1963 the Folkwang school was renamed Folkwang-Hochschule (Folkwang Academy). In 2010 the institution began offering graduate studies and was renamed Folkwang University of the Arts. This coincided with Ruhr.2010 , the festival in which the Ruhr district was designated the European Capital of Culture for the year 2010.
