The university of the German People's Police "Karl Liebknecht" was an educational institution of the Ministry of the Interior of the GDR . The university's predecessor was the Higher Police School.
Predecessor institution
On June 1, 1955, the Higher Police School was established. According to the "School Regulations of the Higher Police School of November 1, 1957", the tasks of the police school were to train officers for managerial positions in the German People's Police . According to the statute, the police school was divided into the faculties of social sciences, law, service studies and training. All members of the university were in constant readiness to defend the site .
history
The university was founded on December 1, 1962 by resolution of September 13, 1962. Like its predecessor institution, the university had its headquarters in Berlin-Kaulsdorf . The university was "the highest educational institution of the Ministry of the Interior for the training and further education of management cadres of the DVP and other organs of the Ministry of the Interior" . She was subordinate to the Minister of the Interior , who also held the office of Chief of the German People's Police. In addition to training officers for the management level, the university should also carry out research activities and support the further training of members of the Ministry of the Interior and the German People's Police. The Institute for Education and Training of the People's Police in Biesenthal , founded on May 29, 1967, supplemented the university's continuing education activities. It was subordinate to the university. From autumn 1973 onwards, the company moved gradually to the new university building in Berlin-Biesdorf (now at the corner of Blumberger Damm and Cecilienstraße). During the 10th World Youth Festival in Berlin in the summer of 1973, the delegation of Czechoslovakia (ČSSR) lived in the university's boarding school. After they moved out, the members of the university moved into the boarding school. Until February 1974, however, the university still used the old Kaulsdorf location for its courses. The completion of other parts of the building, such as B. the large lecture hall , the capacity of the university expanded significantly at the end of the 1970s. In addition to the university, the central computer center and the central criminal registry of the Ministry of the Interior were also located at the same location . In addition to supplying these departments , the university was also responsible for their safety. On June 27, 1977, the university was given the addition of " Karl Liebknecht " to its name .
organization
The leadership of the educational institution had the head of the institution held, the order was also the superior of all members of the university. The Minister of the Interior appointed the head of the university. Advisory bodies supported the leader in carrying out his duties. Support was provided on the one hand by the management of the university and on the other hand by the Scientific Council. The management consisted of the deputy head of the university and the heads of the departments and cadres of the university, while the members of the scientific council were selected by the head of the university. The latter dealt mainly with questions of research and the award of academic titles at the university. The teaching area of the university was divided into the areas of Marxism-Leninism , basics of leadership and leadership, leadership and leadership of a district police station, teaching department leadership and management of the penal institution and teaching groups.
staff
The courses at the university were mostly carried out by officers of the People's Police. Three professors , four lecturers, and thirteen doctors taught at the college in 1971. By 1989 the number of lecturers had increased to 22 professors and 31 lecturers. In total, the university employed over 100 university professors and academic assistants. In addition, other members of the People's Police were deployed as administrative and supply personnel. Civilian employees also worked at the educational institution of the Ministry of the Interior.
Students and courses
The university trained officers who had previously completed another degree and who had proven themselves through years of work. The Minister of the Interior issued the final study permit. Participation in the officers' courses was possible both as a course of study with mandatory presence at the university (direct course) or as a distance learning course (distance learning course). The latter, with the exception of exams and selected courses, took place at branch offices of the university in Rostock , Berlin, Halle , Chemnitz (Karl-Marx-Stadt) and Dresden . Since 1975 the university has also offered courses for the training of officers from friendly countries, such as Vietnam , Ethiopia and Cuba . Most of these course participants had previously attended a technical school of the Ministry of the Interior. After completing the course, the participants received a diploma , which identified them as a graduate in political science. In addition, it was also possible to complete a doctorate or habilitation at the university. B doctorates have been possible since 1983 . The course for the "higher academic course" existed from 1981. In 1987 the officers' college course was introduced. In the 1980s, at least two university graduates worked in a management position in every district police station in the German Democratic Republic.

resolution
At the end of the German Democratic Republic and the associated decommissioning of the German People's Police, the structure and name of the university changed. It now bore the name "College of the Ministry of Internal Affairs". The university and its studies should henceforth be adapted to civilian studies. An example of this was the elimination of the military ranks of members of the university. The course content was adapted to the training of the German police force. Although the Ministry of the Interior of the German Democratic Republic worked on retraining programs with regard to police training until July 1990, such measures were no longer implemented. The plans to set up a police college for united Germany ultimately failed. In autumn 1990 the property including the staff was awarded to the State of Berlin. The final handover takes place on October 15, 1990. The police of the State of Berlin took over about two thirds of the university's staff. Today the area partly houses the Berlin-Marzahn police department of section 62.
