The University of Potsdam is a German university, scattered across four campuses in Potsdam. The University of Potsdam was formed in 1991 by the amalgamation of Karl Liebknecht College of Education and Brandenburg State College. Some parts of the university are located in historic buildings that have been named as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The University library and the Institute of History can be found at the New Palace in Sanssouci Park, and the Institute of Mathematics is located in the former stables at the park. The other campuses, Babelsberg and Golm, are also of historical interest. The oldest buildings of the Golm campus were built in the 1930s to house the Luftwaffe's intelligence department. After WWII the College of Law of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR moved in.
