History: Campus Dahlem

Berlin's agricultural sciences have a long history: founded in 1880 as the Royal Agricultural College, they have survived relocations, the division of Berlin and mergers - and are now united at Campus Dahlem in the Thaer Institute of the Humboldt-Universit?t zu Berlin (HU).

Foundation

Founded in 1880, the K?nigliche Landwirtschaftliche 金贝棋牌 Berlin was integrated into Berlin University as a faculty in 1937. As the buildings of the Agricultural College in and around Invalidenstra?e on Campus Nord were no longer sufficient, from the early 1920s to the early 1930s a third of the institutes relocated to Berlin-Dahlem in the grounds on Albrecht-Thaer-Weg and Lentzeallee. With the establishment of the Department of Horticulture in Dahlem in 1929, the first university horticultural degree programme in Germany was created.

Post-war period

After the Second World War, Berlin was divided into sectors by the Allies. As the majority of the faculty buildings were located in East Berlin, the faculty was under the control of the Soviet military administration. Campus Dahlem was located in the western sector, so from 1951 the institutes located there became the Faculty of Agriculture at the Technische Universit?t Berlin.

1990s until today

This was followed by almost 40 years of separation from the institutes of the HU faculty until the early 1990s, when the agricultural science institutes of all Berlin universities merged to form the Faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture at Humboldt-Universit?t, now the Thaer Institute.
