Wiesbaden Business School
in Wiesbaden
Wiesbaden Business School is located on the Bleichstraße/Bertramstraße Campus in Wiesbaden. The campus is located in the heart of the city and invites you to study in a unique, stylish atmosphere with a distinctly personal flair. The green oasis of the inner courtyard with its tall trees surrounds the Eugen-Schmalenbach-House (representative old building from the Wilhelminian era / built in 1879, rebuilt in 1991 + 2007) and the Dieter-Fladung-Haus (futuristic new building with large glass elements / built in 2001) with Mensa (dining hall) and library.

About the namesakes
Johann Wilhelm Eugen Schmalenbach (1873 - 1955) is considered the founder of business administration as an academic teaching subject. He saw this as an art theory geared towards practical business experience. As a student in 1899, he was already working on contribution margin accounting, which was completely new at the time. This and his other scientific work attracted so much attention that he was appointed professor in Cologne at the age of 33, without having previously obtained his Abitur (German secondary school leaving certificate) or doctorate. As a proponent of dynamic accounting theory, practical relevance was always particularly important to him.
Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Dieter Fladung had been a lecturer in the faculty of economics since 1974, teaching accounting, examination and fiduciary accounting. From 1987 until his unexpected passing on January 1, 2003, he served his faculty as Dean with a great sense of responsibility and never diminishing creative energy. The faculty and the higher education institution owe him many impulses and initiatives for the development of international Liaison to Partners and the establishment of new degree programs.
