Stern conservatory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stern Conservatory (Stern'sches Konservatorium) was created in 1850 as an urban conservatory for music in Berlin by Julius Stern, Theodor Kullak and Adolf Bernhard Marx. Originally known as the Berliner Musikschule, Kullak withdrew from the conservatory in 1855 in order to create a new academy of sculpture and three-dimensional art. With Marx's withdrawal in 1856, the conservatory came exclusively under the Stern family and adopted its name.

In 1936 the Stern Academy was renamed as 'Conservatory of the Reichs Capital Berlin' and controlled by the National Socialist party. After the end of the Second World War, in 1945, the university was again renamed as the 'City Conservatory'. Since 1966 the conservatory has been attached to Berlin University (since 2001, to the University of the arts Berlin).
