In 2005, the Research Center for International and Interdisciplinary
Theology (FIIT) was founded in the building next door to the IWH at
Hauptstraße 240. The initiative to preserve the building for the university was supported by former Rector Freiherr zu Putlitz, former Chancellor Kraft, and the then Rector Peter Hommelhoff.

It was purchased by the Evangelische Stiftung Pflege Schönau (ESPS),
which still celebrates itself as a sponsor on a plaque in front of the building. However, ESPS sent the managing director of FIIT a previously
unagreed annual rent bill of €50,000, an amount that caused him a
number of sleepless nights. The university had only provided €3,000
in start-up capital. Our basket of project ideas was well filled, but the
cash box was empty.
