#HertieNewHome

“With the new Hertie School campus on the site of the Robert Koch Forum, the Hertie School will further expand its profile as a leading university for good governance and modern statehood in Europe. We want to fill this historic site with life again. The campus, in surroundings steeped in tradition, is to become a lively place of ideas and encounters. In the heart of the capital, at the pulse of politics, business and culture.”
