The name Folkwang has been a cultural brand name for a long time now, reaching well beyond national borders. For more than 90 years it has stood for music, theatre, dance, design and academic studies, for the interconnection of the arts together, and for interdisciplinary teaching, learning and producing. Today’s Folkwang Folkwang University of the Arts was founded in 1927 by the opera director Rudolf Schulz-Dornburg, the stage designer Hein Heckroth and the choreographer Kurt Jooss. At that time it bore the name “Folkwang School of Music, Dance and Speech”. In Essen it happened to encounter the “National School of Trades and Applied Arts”, which had already existed since 1911. This would later become the “Folkwang School of Design“ and is now part of the Folkwang University of the Arts.
