The Pope Benedict XVI Philosophical-Theological University (German: Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Benedikt XVI. Heiligenkreuz), colloquially referred to as Hochschule Heiligenkreuz, is a private, Roman Catholic pontifical university located in Heiligenkreuz, Austria. Founded in 1802 by the Cistercian monks of Heiligenkreuz Abbey as a seminary, for much of the 19th century, the college remained very small, with less than 20 seminarians and several Cistercian instructors. During the late 19th century and 20th century, the college's profile grew, and more students arrived, made up of Cistercians, as well as diocesan and religious seminarians. In 1976 it earned university status, and Pope Benedict XVI named it a pontifical university upon his visit in 2007. More information...
