history

On September 1, 1981, the then so-called Political Academy was founded under the direction of Klaus Weigelt at Eichholz Castle . In 1992 the headquarters were relocated to Sankt Augustin before the Academy moved to Berlin in 1997. As early as 1995, Thomas van den Valentyn was commissioned as the architect to plan a new building in Tiergartenstrasse . In addition to conference and seminar rooms for up to 199 participants, the offices of the Academy and the Berlin Education Forum were housed under the same roof. The building also has a cafeteria and a representative terrace for receptions.

The Political Education Forum Berlin is located in the same building. Occasionally the two names are used synonymously , whereby the education forum is explicitly aimed only at citizens of the city of Berlin and takes up local political trends.
