Freie Universität Berlin

Freie Universität Berlin was founded in West Berlin on 4 December 1948 by students and academics, with American support, after protests against political control of the University of Berlin in the Soviet sector. Its founding statutes gave students a role in governance, and historian Friedrich Meinecke was its first president. Its main campus is in the Dahlem district.
