About Us

The university recalled its beginnings and the ideas of Humboldt and other contemporaries as part of its 200th anniversary from 2009 to 2010. It presented itself as “The Modern Original”. The alma mater entered the dialogue with the city of Berlin and made science, research and teaching possible.

The university has undergone many changes in its 200-year history. After an extraordinary process of self-renewal and restructuring after the political change in 1990, she has won outstanding scholars from East and West, both at home and abroad.

Since June 15, 2012, the Humboldt University of Berlin has been one of the eleven excellence universities in Germany. In the second phase of the Excellence Initiative, she successfully completed all three funding programs and has received a high degree of recognition with her future concept “Education through Science: Personality – Openness – Orientation”. Even in international comparisons, the university reaches top places among the ten best German universities. The scientists are researching socially relevant topics and questions of the future and communicating the results to the public. The Humboldt University employs all its forces to be a place of outstanding research and teaching.
