Overview of the Seminary's History

The Theological Seminary of the Wisconsin Synod was formally opened in the fall of 1863 at Watertown, Wisconsin. Instruction was initially given by Professor Edward Moldehnke, Ph.D., in the school building of St. Mark's congregation. On September 14, 1865, the Synod's college, first known as "Wisconsin University" and then as "Northwestern University" opened its doors, and for five years the seminary was operated in conjunction with it.
