More About Berlin School
The Humboldt University of Berlin is a public research university located in Berlin’s central borough of Mitte. Frederick William III established the University of Berlin (Universität zu Berlin) in 1809 on the initiative of Wilhelm von Humboldt, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Friedrich Ernst Daniel Schleiermacher, and it opened in 1810, making it the oldest of Berlin’s four universities. It was known as Friedrich Wilhelm University from 1810 until its closure in 1945. During the Cold War, the university was located in East Berlin and was effectively divided when the Free University of Berlin opened in West Berlin. In 1949, the university was given its current name in honour of Alexander and Wilhelm von Humboldt.
The university is divided into nine faculties, including a medical school shared with the Free University of Berlin, has approximately 32,000 students enrolled, and offers degree programmes in 189 disciplines from undergraduate to postdoctoral level. Its main campus is located on Berlin’s Unter den Linden boulevard. The university is well-known throughout the world for pioneering the Humboldtian model of higher education, which has had a significant influence on other European and Western universities.
