University of Königsberg

Universities and Colleges

The University of Königsberg, commonly known as the Albertina, was a university in Königsberg in East Prussia. It was founded in 1544 by Duke Albert of Prussia as the world second Protestant academy after the University of Marburg, and it received the royal privilege of King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland in 1560. After the Second World War the city became Kaliningrad in the Soviet Union under the 1945 Potsdam Agreement, the Albertina was closed and the remaining German population was expelled. Today the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University claims to maintain its traditions.
