Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin
Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin was the name used by the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin from 1918 to 1938, following the fall of the German monarchy (which had previously styled the institution the Königlich Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1836–1918). Founded originally in 1700, the Academy published scholarly proceedings under the title Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Philosophisch-Historische Klasse and Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Klasse), which included offprints (Sonderausgaben) of individual monographs distributed commercially through Walter de Gruyter & Co. After 1938 the institution dropped "Preussische" from its name; following the Second World War it was reconstituted as the Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin (1946–1972), a predecessor of today's Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
