Was it fate that brought Europa-Universität Viadrina back to life in 1991? The original “Alma Mater Viadrina” closed in 1811, its legacy seemingly lost. But the spirit of learning, much like “light from the east,” found its way back to Frankfurt (Oder). Imagine standing before this institution that has borne witness to over 500 years of history. Founded in 1506 by Elector Joachim I Nestor, the first Europa-Universität Viadrina quickly gained fame. Scholars and students from across Europe flocked to its hallowed halls, eager to partake in its academic excellence. The university weathered many storms. It saw the rise of the Reformation, the Thirty Years’ War, and even a move to Breslau before its closure. The refounding of Europa-Universität Viadrina in 1991 marked a new era. With a focus on European integration and a spirit of cross-cultural collaboration, the university thrives today. It’s no surprise that around 40% of the student body hails from outside Germany, mainly from Poland. This vibrant mix of cultures creates a truly unique atmosphere, embodying the very essence of a united Europe.
