12. Read and translate Text 3: Koenigsberg University
The history of Kaliningrad State University is closely connected with the history of Koenigsberg University rooting in the past, in the history of cultural and spiritual development of not only German people but the neighbouring East-European peoples - Polish, Lithuanian and Russian. The history of Koenigsberg University, of the famous Albertina lasted four centuries. It tore off in 1945 when as a result of the Second World War Koenigsberg and a part of the Eastern Prussia were handed up to the USSR. Even now 50 years later we can see the signs of German culture kept till nowadays. On the island between two branches of the Pregel river there are walls of the Grand Cathedral rising above.
In the ancient times the famous citizens of the town were buried at the walls of the temple. Here in 1568 the founder of Koenigsberg University - the last Teutonic Grand Master and the first Prussian Duke - Albert Gogentsollern ( 1490 - 1568 ) was buried. And very near - it was enough to cross the church court - the old University building stood. The first Prussian Duke performed great services in forming intellectual and spiritual atmosphere of new Prussia but the most significant of his creations was the foundation of Koenigsberg University, though the decisive point was not only culture but needs of state building, of the policy and ideology. Albert understood that the way to the state independence was through the gate of the Prussian high school.
The solemn opening day happened on the 17-th of August in 1544. Under the sounds of chime Albert introduced the first rector Georg Sabinus to the audience. This event was marked by the solemn divine service. The seal with the image of Albert the Duke was produced. Albert presented the University his own collection of books and also handed over the books from the former Orden and cloister libraries.
Koenigsberg University was managed like the other German Universities. German Universities following the traditions of medieval time as a rule consisted of four departments: the «lowest» department of philosophy and three «highest» departments of theology, law and medicine. Tuition started at the philosophy department where every student had to learn seven «free» arts: grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, music (sacred singing), arithmetic, geometry and astronomy. It was only possible to enter the «highest» departments having learnt the courses of the philosophy department.
For teaching there were ten professors engaged to the University. The number of students contained 314. Mostly they were citizens of Prussia, some of the students came from Poland, Lithuania and other neighbouring lands. This policy did not contradict the main aim of the University founders: to propagate Lutheranism and German culture along Baltic lands.
During its long history Koenigsberg University went through various periods of time. Nevertheless in Albertina the primordial spirit of honoring the freedom of creative personality was always kept. University is scientific societies and traditions, it is teachers and students, it is libraries and archives, buildings and laboratories. The Second World War dispersed or destroyed book collections and archives of Koenigsberg University, the great part of University buildings were ruined. Teachers and students were deported to Germany. But up till now there is no philosophy without I.Kant, no mathematics without K.Yacoby, no astronomy without F.Bessel, no literature without E.Hoffman.
