history
On September 30, 1975, the Berlin University of the Arts (HdK) was created by merging the State University of Fine Arts and the State University of Music and Performing Arts . On November 1, 2001, the HdK was awarded the title of University . This change of name did not represent a change of status, because the HdK was the only artistic educational institution in Berlin to have the right to award doctorates and was treated in budgetary terms like the other three universities. The reason for the renaming to Universität der Künste (UdK) Berlin was the efforts of the university management to describe the range of the offer with an internationally common name. In addition to the Bremen University of the Arts and the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, the UdK Berlin is one of those art colleges in Germany that unite fine arts and design on the one hand, music and performing arts on the other hand under one roof.
The history of the university up to 1975 is complex. The previous institutions on the visual arts and design side include the Electoral Academy of Mahler, Sculpture and Architectural Art (1696), the teaching establishment of the Berlin Museum of Applied Arts (1867), the Royal School of Art in Berlin (1869), and the School of Applied Arts and Crafts (1861) and the Master school of Visual Commercial (1892), on the part of music and Performing Arts, the Royal music Institute Berlin (1822), the Stern'sche Municipal Conservatory of music (1850), which led by Joseph Joachim founded Royal Academic College for Performing Music (1869, since 1918: State Academic College for Music ) and the Hebbel Theater School (founded in 1946, closed in 1951). The Acting course arose from the below 1951 by Hilde Körber founded the Max Reinhardt School of Drama , the 1964 integrated into the then University of Music and Performing Arts and in 1974 with the then College of Fine Arts for the University of the Arts (now University of the arts).
In the winter semester 1976/1977, there was at the Free University of Berlin to prohibitions strike , which spread immediately to all universities and technical colleges in the western part of the city. From December 6, 1976, numerous departments at the HdK also went on strike.
