The Stenden University Berlin (SUB) was a private university in Berlin that was in the process of being established and in 2008 received state recognition as a university with university status by the Senate Department for Education, Science and Research . Its supporting company, the Stenden University Berlin non-profit GmbH , was set up by the Stenden Hogeschool (a Dutch private educational institution with headquarters in Leeuwarden ). One year after the state recognition by the Berlin Senate Department for Education, Science and Research, the SUB's state approval was withdrawn again.

history
This university under German law was founded on the initiative of the Stenden Hogeschool in Leeuwarden (Netherlands), a tertiary, professionally-oriented educational institution under Dutch law. The conception of the advanced training college in Berlin with university status was developed by founding rector Martin Gertler .
At the beginning of April 2009, the university stopped its communication measures and has only had a virtual office since then, but not a real campus. On August 3, 2009, the Senate Department for Education, Science and Research revoked the recognition of Stenden University as a university.
The Dutch parent company announced at the beginning of September 2009 that the university in Berlin was "on hold" and would not start in the foreseeable future. The reason she cited was the financial crisis of the time, which did not allow an economically viable start. In its 2011 annual report (p. 10) it stated that it had stopped further planning and the realization of Stenden University Berlin.
