The Alma Mater Viadrina was founded in 1506 by the Prince of Brandenburg, Joachim I, as the state's foremost university.
As the various churches vied for prominence over subsequent centuries, the Viadrina remained characterized by religious tolerance, withstanding the effects of the Reformation in the 1530s and becoming, by the early 17th century, a strongly Calvinist university even though the theology faculty retained a Lutheran department.
In its heyday, it was a stronghold of humanism and enlightened values, spawning generations of high-profile graduates who went on to become diplomats, lawyers and high-ranking members of the military.

 Dean   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Viadrina is a very old and a very young university at the same time.
However, when Wilhelm von Humboldt set up the Berlin university in 1810, he decided to close down the Viadrina at Frankfurt (Oder) and transfer it in 1811 to Breslau (today Wroclaw in Poland) where it could continue as Viadrina, since Breslau is situated at the Oder river, too.
So let me end by asking you to make the most of your time here: enjoy student life at Frankfurt (and presumably also in its suburb Berlin), get the maximum from our academic programmes, and make friends with each other.
