All institutions and organs of the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences (e.g. departments, scientific institutions, the department of study affairs, library, senate, AStA, staff council, interdisciplinary working groups) create their websites on their own responsibility. The correctness and topicality of the contents therefore fall within the responsibility of the creators of the individual pages or lies with the authorised representative of the responsible institution or with the person authorised by him/her. This website does without so-called social plugins and thus follows a recommendation of the state commissioner for data protection and the right of the state of Brandenburg to inspect files.

Note on terms used
The archival descriptions on this website have been taken over by third parties. It is due to the topic and the time of origin of the descriptions that terms are mentioned that can be offensive to representatives of victim groups. The descriptions in question are a product of their time and therefore themselves a subject of historical research. Replacing these defamatory and racist concepts with more neutral variants would be tantamount to manipulating sources. The same applies to terms and designations that are not gender-neutral. The people involved in this project explicitly distance themselves from the active use of racist and defamatory terminologies in contemporary language.
