The Zentrum für Lehrkräftebildung (ZfL) is a central institution at MHL that performs interdisciplinary tasks in the design, organisation and coordination of teacher training courses at MHL. The centre initiates and participates in teacher training-related research and development projects and links these to practical vocational training. In its work, the ZfL acts as an interface between the institutions involved in the training of future teachers in Schleswig-Holstein: from the Ministry of Education to the universities in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, the Institut für Qualitätsentwicklung Schleswig-Holstein (IQSH) and the Kompetenzzentrum für musikalische Bildung Schleswig-Holstein (KMB.SH) to the schools.
