Welcome to the Center for German & European Studies

The BMW Center for German and European Studies

The BMW Center for German and European Studies was founded in 1990 as one of three North American "Centers of Excellence," each supported by a ten-year grant from the German government. At the end of the decade, BMW AG's $10 million endowment gift secured the Center's fundamental mission into the 21st century: to educate future generations of transatlantic leaders.

The 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

The BMW Center recently marked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a series of events examining its lasting impact on politics, economy, and culture. A highlight of the series was the Fifth Quandt Lecture on November 2, 2009 which was given by former German Foreign Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher. Additionally, Dr. Jeffrey Anderson, Director of the BMW Center, is featured in a Faculty Expert video discussing the history of the Berlin Wall, why it was built, and its purpose. He also analyzes the political and global impact of its fall and the reunification of Germany over the past 20 years.
