Nowadays, there are many black and white photos hanging on a long corridor in the main building of Humboldt University in Berlin. The characters in the photo are all professors who have made important achievements in various fields, and 29 of them have a common identity: Nobel Prize winners. This is a number that many countries can't achieve with their national efforts. These 29 names belong to the same university.
In many countries, the photos of these elites are stored in the lobby of the rich, but here, the children of these times occupy a small space in a simple and ordinary way and look at the students coming and going with deep eyes. Perhaps this self-confidence of being indifferent to fame and fortune is precisely the taste of universities and the reason for winning prizes, because they know that all honors are insignificant compared with the vast and serious scientific world.
The University of Berlin was founded in the stormy era of 19 century. Just four years after Napoleon's fiasco, the University of Berlin was born. The founder was Prussian Minister of Education william von humboldt, who was later called the father of modern education in Germany, because he did a lot of pioneering work for German education. 1949, the University of Berlin was renamed Humboldt University.
