The University of Koblenz and Landau (German: Universität Koblenz-Landau) was a German public university located in Koblenz and Landau, Rhineland-Palatinate, which primarily focused on teacher education.
Formed in 1990 following the merger of several schools of education in Rhineland-Palatinate, the university was unique in Germany in that it had two campi that were on opposite ends of the state and essentially functioned as two separate universities, complete with their own staff, administration and student culture, with little to no interaction with its counterpart. To not privilege one campus, the president's office and central administration were located in the state capital Mainz.
After years of criticism of this convoluted, inefficient and expensive structure, the state restructured its universities, leading to the university to formally disband in 2023. The Koblenz campus was repurposed as the University of Koblenz, while the Landau campus was merged with the much closer Technical University of Kaiserslautern to form the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau.
