Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

"On the impressive façade of the main building of the Humboldt University, it becomes apparent that the construction on Unter den Linden Boulevard should actually become another royal palace.
As the third building of the Forum Fridericianum, the palace of Prince Henry, Frederick II's brother, was built in 1748-66. The original conception of the palace was a new royal palace, but Frederick had already lost his interest in Berlin and kept himself as often as possible in Potsdam, especially in his newly built pleasure palace Sanssouci.
The design may have come from the now disgraced Knobelsdorff, the construction was led by Johann Boumann and Carl Ludwig Hildebrandt. Seven years after the death of the prince, the building was assigned to the newly founded Friedrich Wilhelm University, which began teaching in 1810 (after Humboldt it was named after the Second World War). The once rich facilities reduced over time to the ballroom, which eventually fell victim to the war.
The original palace was a three-wing complex grouped around the Ehrenhof to the Linden. Along the lime tree avenue seven-axle forehead structures were located in front of. In 1913-20, Ludwig Hoffmann broadened the originally narrow side wings to the width of these fortifications and extended them far to the north, creating an elongated second courtyard. The complex is accented by the central risalit and the risalits of the frontal buildings, which are covered with statues. The Corinthian order of the middle risalit refers to the opera house. The flat roof is almost hidden by a surrounding parapet. The massive impression is reinforced by the ashlar of the three storeys, the middle of which is emphasized by the high arched windows. Noteworthy are the overhung Torpfeiler with children groups. "Source: berlin.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/3561617-3558930-humboldt-universitaet.html

Autrefois prévu comme palais royal, ce que l'université est visiblement 'sur le visage' 👑

Université Humboldt, Berlin
L'Université Humboldt de Berlin (HU Berlin en abrégé) est une université de recherche publique située dans le quartier central de Mitte à Berlin. Elle a été fondée en 1809 par Friedrich Wilhelm III. Fondée sous le nom d'Université de Berlin à l'initiative de Wilhelm von Humboldt, Johann Gottlieb Fichte et Friedrich Ernst Daniel Schleiermacher et ouverte en 1810, c'est la plus ancienne des quatre universités berlinoises. De 1828 jusqu'à sa fermeture en 1945, elle s'appelait Université Friedrich Wilhelm. Pendant la guerre froide, l'université était située à Berlin-Est et était de facto divisée en deux parties lors de l'ouverture de l'Université libre de Berlin à Berlin-Ouest. L'université a reçu son nom actuel en 1949 en l'honneur d'Alexandre et Wilhelm von Humboldt.
