Young, modern and research-oriented: the University of Potsdam was founded in 1991 and has firmly established itself in the landscape of scholarship and science. It has also become an outstanding factor in regional economics and development. About 20,000 students and 2,750 employees work at three locations - Am Neuen Palais, Griebnitzsee and Golm - at one of Germany’s most beautiful academic institutions.
