The Old Library (formerly: Royal Library, colloquially: Chest of Drawers) is a listed building at Bebelplatz 2 in the Mitte district of Berlin and part of the Forum Fridericianum. Built between 1775 and 1780 on behalf of Frederick the Great according to plans by Georg Christian Unger in the Baroque style, it was converted into a university building in 1910. Burned out in the Second World War, the Old Library was rebuilt between 1963 and 1969. Since then, it has been home to the Faculty of Law at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
