German Academy of Sciences Berlin

The German Academy of Sciences Berlin ( _de. Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR) was the most important academy in the German Democratic Republic. It was founded in 1946 and continued the long tradition of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. It was first called 'German Academy of Sciences at Berlin' (Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin) and was then renamed 'Academy of Sciences of the GDR' (Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR) in 1972, once the division of Germany was accepted as a permanent state of affairs entailing mutual recognition by the two Germanys. Its successor in 1990 was the Leibniz Society.

History

The German Academy of Sciences Berlin was the successor of the Brandenburg Society of Sciences, which was founded by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
