The school was housed in an old mill on the Ihle river, mentioned for the first time in 1306.

Campus life
The Friedensau campus differs from other university sites in many areas.
The campus is close to nature, and the facilities are within easy reach of one another, saving time and reducing stress. The proximity between students and teaching staff allows a space for mutual trust and a relaxed coexistence. Alongside the programmes of study there are numerous spiritual, cultural, artistic and sporting opportunities for an active extra-curricular life in Friedensau.
Sports facilities
Sport gives more than just physical equilibrium. The university sports club offers numerous opportunities, from a football team to gymnastics. And personal initiative is welcome. Sports fields, volleyball and tennis courts, a small sports hall, a weight-training room and a sauna all encourage activity. For horse-lovers there are horses available for riding. There is also an extensive high ropes course in the local area.
Student clubs
The StuZ (Studenten-Zentrum) is the student centre in Friedensau. The facilities in the Erich Meyer House are comfortable and relaxing, encouraging talk and togetherness. During term the students meet twice a week at 8 pm, on Wednesdays and on the Sabbath, to socialize (referred to as ‘Stutzen’ from the abbreviation ‘STuZ’). A friendly team consisting of local students takes care of the visitors and guests.
Friedensau Adventist University is government accredited and accredited by the Adventist Accreditation Association (AAA).
