Freie Universität Berlin

The majority of the facilities of the Free University of Berlin, which is divided into 4 different campuses in Berlin, the capital of Germany, are Dahlem Campus, Lankwitz Geocampus, Düppel Campus and Benjamin Franklin Campus, are located on the Dahlem Campus in the southwest of Berlin. Formerly part of the faculty of education, the Lankwitz Geocampus now houses the earth sciences department and part of the university archives.

The University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is located on the Düppel Campus, which is located only 2 kilometers from the main campus and consists of many clinics and institutes. The campus, which was opened in the same year as the founding of the university and named after Benjamin Franklin for the post-war United States support of the university and Germany, is located approximately 3 kilometers southeast of Dahlem and includes medical institutes, clinics and lecture halls within its borders. It is one of the largest medical facilities in Europe.

Transportation between campuses is carried out via Berlin's dense public transport network. Dahlem Dorf and Thielplatz stations connect the university to the U3 line of Berlin's U-Bahn systems, while the S1 line of the Berlin S-Bahn system's Lichterfelde West station connects the university to the center of Berlin.

In the Dahlem area, which is an important point in terms of research and culture, there are many buildings belonging to the Max Planck Society, such as the Max Planck Institute for Educational Research, the Max Planck Institute for the Science of History, the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics. Completed in the 1960s, the student village near the Schlachtensee lake provides accommodation for students with 27 buildings.

The Free University of Berlin has Germany's largest library system, with more than 8.5 million printed volumes and more than 25,000 publications in 49 separate libraries, institutes and collections. The Free University of Berlin is also home to the Berlin Botanical Garden, which is built on 43 hectares and is home to around 22,000 species.

While the university sports center on Königin-Luise street offers students the opportunity to do sports, the university campuses located very close to the city center of Berlin are also at the heart of the social and cultural opportunities offered by the city of Berlin.
