Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU; Шаблон:Lang-ru) is a public research university located in the exclave of Kaliningrad, Russia.
As a result of World War II, Russia annexed the city of Königsberg from Prussia and renamed it Kaliningrad, therefore the establishment was named Kaliningrad State University (1946–2005), then in 2005 the university was renamed Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in honor of Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher. The university claims to maintain the traditions of its German predecessor, the University of Königsberg.[1]
History
The former University of Königsberg was commonly known as the Albertina. It was East Prussia's sole university and was specially regarded for its mathematics and astronomy. The campus was severely damaged by British aerial bombing in August 1944 during World War II. The Albertina was closed after Königsberg was captured by the Red Army in 1945.[2]
After the war, Königsberg was renamed Kaliningrad and the new Russophone Kaliningrad State Pedagogical Institute used the campus of the Albertina from 1948 to 1967, including the main Albertina building inaugurated in 1862. In 1967, the institute received the status of a university and became known as Kaliningrad State University. In 2005, during the celebrations of the 750th anniversary of the founding of Königsberg, President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany announced that the university would be renamed Immanuel Kant Russian State University in honour of Immanuel Kant.[2]
As of 2005, the university consisted of twelve faculties with courses ranging from Natural Sciences to the Humanities. It had approximately 12,800 students enrolled, both undergraduate and post-graduate, and 580 faculty staff. IKSUR's Kant Society was created to study Kantianism, or Kantian philosophy. The university is also interested in the historical connections between Königsberg and Russia as far back as the 16th century.[2]
In 2010-2011 the university underwent an enlargement and rebranding process which will lead to changing its name from Immanuel Kant Russian State University to Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University.[2]
