We are in the centre of Berlin

Humboldt-Universität and Berlin are inextricably linked. With our four campuses - Adlershof, Dahlem, Mitte and Nord - we are spread across the city, shaping it and being shaped by it. Each campus has its own profile and a special atmosphere.

A relatively hidden green oasis in the Mitte district can only be reached via inconspicuous entrances.](https://www.hu-berlin.de/en/university/campus-university-life/campus-nord/campus-nord-at-a-glance)

Campus Mitte is the oldest campus of the HU. Among other things, the historic main building Unter den Linden is located here.](https://www.hu-berlin.de/en/university/campus-university-life/campus-mitte/campus-mitte-at-a-glance)
