The Inner Leadership Center was founded in 1956 as the School of the Bundeswehr for Inner Leadership (InFüSBw) in Köln, initially using hotel facilities and subsequently transferred to Koblenz in 1957, taking over a former French Armed Forces Hotel. Since 1981, the installation bears the name Zentrum Innere Führung. The Inner Leadership Center is unter direct command of the Federal Ministry of Defence (Germany) (BMVg) since 1 August 2017. == Awards ==
