The Faculty of Social Work, Health and Nursing was part of the independent Esslingen University of Social Sciences until 30.9.2006. On 1.10.2006 the Esslingen University of Social Sciences and the Esslingen University of Engineering were merged.

The former Esslingen University of Social Sciences, and thus the faculty, has its roots in Stuttgart. In 1917, the Social Women’s School of the Swabian Women’s Union was founded in Stuttgart on the basis of a trust instituted by Queen Charlotte of Württemberg. A second institution supported by this trust was the Seminar for Female Youth Leaders, founded in 1930. After their transformation into higher vocational schools in the 1960s, both institutions merged to form the University of Social Sciences in 1972. For many decades, the University, in addition to the Mannheim University for Social Sciences and the Alice Salomon University in Berlin, was one of the three independent, state-run universities with a specific focus on social and health sciences. At Esslingen University as well, the faculty sees its particular responsibility in playing an exemplary role in representing the field of social care and health care as a university subject in Baden-Württemberg. Within the faculties it has an exceptional position, since, according to the founding law of Esslingen University, a vice president has to be appointed from amongst the professors for a certain transitional period.
