"Without Humboldt University, there would be no splendid German civilization". Humboldt University, known as the mother of modern universities, is a new school founded according to the spirit of "integration of scientific research and teaching" of Humboldt University, and is committed to cultivating students' comprehensive humanistic quality in many aspects. Once the world academic center, Humboldt University of Berlin was founded in 18 10 and 10. This state-funded coeducational institution of higher learning was founded by william von humboldt, then Prussian Minister of Education, who was a famous German scholar and educational reformer. When Humboldt University in Berlin was founded, there were four traditional colleges, namely, law, medicine, philosophy and theology. There are 52 teachers and 256 students in the school, while Hegel from the School of Philosophy, savigny from the School of Law, Auguste Burke, a classical linguist, Hulan from the Medical College and Thiel, an agronomist, symbolize the spirit of all the schools in Humboldt University at that time.

Under the influence of the wave of college reform in the middle of the19th century, Humboldt University in Berlin has made drastic reforms on the previously dominant learning content, learning process and research conditions, and has made great progress. Humboldt University in Berlin was the academic center of the world before World War II. Many famous scholars and politicians have left their presence here, producing 29 Nobel Prize winners in the fields of chemistry, medicine, physics and literature, with amazing achievements. The first Nobel Prize winner in chemistry came from Humboldt University in Berlin, which was then the University of Berlin. He is the Dutch professor jacoby Henrisius Van Hof who won the 190 1 Nobel Prize for studying the laws of chemical kinetics. Including physicists Einstein and Planck, philosophers Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Schopenhauer, theologian Lehmacher and jurist savigny. At the same time, Marx and Engels, the founders of the theory of * * production party, studied at Humboldt University in Berlin. Schumann, the president of the European Parliament, Feuerbach, the famous poet Heine, Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, Kurt Tuholtzky and so on also studied here.

William von humboldt (1767 ~ 1835), the founder who advocated taking knowledge as the ultimate goal, was a famous liberal political thinker, educator, diplomat, comparative linguist and language philosopher in modern Germany. According to Humboldt's idea, modern universities should be "the sum of knowledge", teaching and research should be carried out at the same time in universities, and academic freedom should be advocated. The ultimate goal of a university is knowledge and scholarship, not to cultivate pragmatic talents. All external organizations of universities are based on these two points.

Until the end of World War II, there was only one "Berlin University" in Berlin, and its teachers and students proudly called themselves "Alma Mater Berolinis" in Latin. During the Cold War, Berlin University was included in the territory of East Berlin, and some teachers and students left the original school. With the support of western camps such as the United States and Britain, 1948 established the "Free Berlin University" in West Berlin and became the academic center of West Germany. "truth, fairness and freedom" (Veritas-Iustitia-Libertas. ) has been the motto of the Free University of Berlin since its founding. After the split of Berlin University, the former East Berlin Campus was renamed as Humboldt University of Berlin in 1949, in memory of william von humboldt, the founder of the University and a famous German educational reformer.
