A monumental central university building was to be built on the shores of Lake Chiemsee, based on the architectural plans of Hermann Giesler.
On 29 January 1940, Rosenberg received an order from Hitler to continue the preparatory work for the university's opening:[4] The Hohe Schule is some day to become the center for National Socialist doctrinal research and education.
The offices of the Party and the State organizations are required to support his work in every way.The first faculty of the school, the Institute for Study of the Jewish Question, was opened on 26 March 1941 in Frankfurt am Main.
[3] To achieve the goal set out by Hitler on 29 January 1940, the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce with the help of the Gestapo combed through the libraries, archives, Masonic lodges and the offices of high church authorities of occupied Western Europe in search of relevant material for the university.
[4] On 1 March 1942, Hitler authorized Rosenberg to seize materials as well as cultural treasures for the school, as a "systematic spiritual battle" against "Jews, Freemasons, and affiliated opponents of National Socialism" was necessary.
