Talk:Universities and research institutions in Berlin

message: Is this really a dab, it seems more like a list of universities? Also, why does University of Berlin redirect here? Is there real confusion when someone links to University of Berlin, it seems to me that it should link to Humboldt University of Berlin. --Commander Keane 17:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  We should redirect this page and move the disambiguation list to a (disambiguation) page. btm 05:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but this is a mistake. An encyclopedia should be exact and correct, and a redirect to the Humboldt University of Berlin is wrong. We have four universities in Berlin and nobody calls the Humboldt University (HU) "University of Berlin". That's why the German page links to the list of universities. Apart from that we had a long discussion in Berlin about the legal successor of the old university. For example the Free University of Berlin (FU) says, that it stands in the moral tradition of the University of Berlin because of the past of the HU (it was communist dominated and not free - a reason for the splitting of the old university into FU and HU). Apart from that many of the former researchers have never worked in the district of Mitte (location of HU) but in the district of Dahlem (location of FU) where the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes were located until World War II. Many of these institutes and buildings and further 16 institutes of the former University of Berlin belong now to the FU. That's why the Academic Ranking of World Universities does no longer list HU and FU. Both universities claim former Nobel Prize Winners of the University of Berlin for themselves. Until 2003 the ranking added all Winners to the FU and in 2004 to the HU, after it's intervention. Since 2005, both universities are dropped out of the race. Historians clarify now the legal successor of the old university. That must be taken into account. --Wikistar 14:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

It has two large universities Uni Potsdam and FH Potsdam. Plus several Max-Planck and Fraunhofer institutes.
