The Staatliche Fachakademie für Fotodesign München (The State Academy for Photo Design, Munich) was an independent training facility for photography and photo design in Munich with several predecessor institutions. It was incorporated into the Munich University of Applied Sciences in 2002.

History

The training facility was founded on October 15, 1900 in Rennbahnstrasse, near Munich's Theresienwiese, as the "Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Photographie” (“Teaching and Research Institute for Photography”), a Bavarian State Government Subsidised Educational Institution. Munich became a cultural centre of Europe over the period of its establishment under the regency of Luitpold who during the Prinzregentenjahre ("The Prince Regent Years" or the Prinzregentenzeit) oversaw a flowering of artistic and cultural activity in Bavaria which prospered under a liberal government and which attracted creative artists in all fields from across Europe. Thomas Mann in his novella about this period Gladius Dei; "München leuchtete" (literally; "Munich shone").

The founder was Georg Heinrich Emmerich (1870–1923), a keen advocate for, and amateur exhibitor of, Pictorialism, and contributor to photography magazines, including Allgemeine Photographen-Zeitung. Zeitschrift für Künstlerische Fach-Photographie ('German Photography Magazine: Journal for Artistic Photography) from 1892,^[1] and author of photography books from 1904,^[2] He was its first director until 1917. His son Walter E. Lautenbacher studied at the college from 1947 to 1949 and founded the Bund Freischaffender Fotodesigner (BFF) ('Association of Freelance Photo Designers') in 1969.

In 1904 the institution was expanded with a graphic arts department and renamed the "Teaching and Research Institute for Photography, Chemography, Collotype and Engraving".^[3]

By 1905 it was accepting women into its photography courses, though enrolments from both genders were subject to quotas.^[4] Frank Eugene was employed as a teacher for 'Artistic Photography', 1907–1913. In 1928 the institution was nationalised as the "Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Lichtbildwesen" and from 1954 became the “Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie” ("Bavarian State Institute for Photography") before, in 1990, the name was again adjusted to Staatliche Fachakademie für Fotodesign (“State Academy for Photo Design”).

In 2002, the specialist academy was incorporated as a "Photo Design" course into Faculty 12 "Design" at the Munich University of Applied Sciences (FHM) and two years later the last 30 graduates emerged from Clemensstrasse 33. "Photo design" is now a course of study in the Faculty of Design at Munich University of Applied Sciences, which since 2019 has been based in the historic aristocratic armory at Lothstrasse 17.
