About us
 
In 1992, the LCBS Lake Constance Business School was founded at Schloss Langenrain on the shores of Lake Constance as an institute for scientific continuing education by
Prof. Dr. Bernd Richter, Head of the Business Administration Department and Scientific Director of the Continuing Education Department at Constance University of Applied Sciences,
Dr. Tobias Engelsing, Press Relations Officer and Director of Public Relations of Constance University of Applied Sciences, and
Roland Luxemburger M.A., MBA, Director of the university management policy unit.

The LCBS was founded in accordance with the general basic conditions in force for the organisation and implementation of post-graduate scientific continuing education at institutions of higher education upon agreement with the university management and the Ministry of Science of Baden-Württemberg. The LCBS is linked to Constance University of Applied Sciences by a co-operation agreement. This agreement ensures that the University is entrusted with the sovereign duties, i.e. developing curricula, administering examinations, quality assurance and the conferral of certificates and degrees, while it is incumbent upon the LCBS to carry out the marketing, implementation and financial handling of the continuing education programmes on offer. The services performed by Constance University of Applied Sciences in the field of continuing education are refunded by the LCBS.

In 2001 the TAK Technische Akademie Konstanz gGmbH (Graduate School of Engineering), which was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Constance University of Applied Sciences became a shareholder of LCBS, following an increase in capital.

In 2006 LCBS Lake Constance Business School and TAK moved from Schloss Langenrain on the Bodanrück Ridge to the Villa Rheinburg in Constance where Constance University of Applied Sciences shall continue its successful work in the field of post-graduate scientific continuing education in future.
