Robert Schumann Music College

The Robert-Schumann-Hochschule (In English Robert Schumann University, which refers to itself as the University of Music Düsseldorf) is a college for music studies in Düsseldorf, Germany.

History

In 1935 three private music schools were merged together into the Robert Schumann Conservatorium, named after the composer Robert Schumann, who lived a long while in Düsseldorf.

In 1972 the state of North Rhine-Westphalia became the responsible body for the music college. It became part of the public college for music in the Rhineland. In 1987 it became an independent college and got its current name.
