| No e-mail available | | Description | | Potsdam - once a city of kings and royal residences, is today the capital of Brandenburg and at the same time a European city of culture. The heart of Prussia is famous for its palaces and parks, its gardens and villas, and its numerous museums. In the past basically a military and garrison town, it is today a city of films and media as well as a university city. And it is traditionally also a city of learning and research, whose worldwide reputation substantially rests upon work in the natural sciences in the fields of astro- and Gravitation Physics and Earth Sciences. The "Einstein Tower" on the Telegrafenberg, one of the most significant expressionist buildings, is an imposing symbol of the link between landscape, architecture and science.
Although the University of Postdam is only a few years old, it nevertheless has its own history. In 1948 the Brandenburg Landeshochschule (school of higher education of the Land Brandenburg) was founded here in Potsdam. Out of this institution developed later the Karl Liebknecht Pedagogical College, the largest teacher training institution in the GDR. After the social and political changes of the year 1989 the University of Potsdam was founded on the grounds of the previous institutions on July 15, 1991. Today it is the largest university in Brandenburg. The University of Potsdam is conceived as a small university. Its motto is: "Klein aber fein," "Small but excellent." Presently approximately 16,000 students study in the various departments of the University of Potsdam, including about 1,300 foreign students from more than 85 countries.
