The 23-year-old defender has agreed a four-year contract with the Seagulls as he joins from the Bundesliga outfit.
Albion manager Chris Hughton told the club's official website: 'We're delighted to welcome Bernardo to the club.
'He is a strong, committed defender who can play on the left or right, and so his versatility gives us good options at the back.
'For a young player he already has good experience, having played in the Bundesliga, the Champions League and the Europa League.
'He is a good character and speaks numerous languages, and I'm sure he will fit in well with the rest of the squad.'
