Institutes
The Department of Protestant Theology is divided into six institutes:
- Institute of Old Testament
- Institute for New Testament
- Institute for Church and Dogma History
- Institute of Systematic Theology
- Institute for Practical Theology
- Institute for Missiology, Ecumenism and Religious Studies
The department has a common departmental library for all institutes.
Two research centers are assigned to the institutes:
- Church and Community
- Center for Peace Church Theology
The Missionsakademie at the University of Hamburg is also closely related to the department, and especially to the Institute for Missiology, Ecumenism and Religious Studies.
