Center for German and International Building and Civil Engineering Law
The Center for German and International Civil and structuring engineering law eV (CBTR) deals with the interdisciplinary development of the civil law in close consultation with the German Geotechnical Society (DGGT), the German Society for Construction Law and the STUVA.
The association was initiated in 2001 by Klaus Englert , the headquarters of the association is in Schrobenhausen . At the end of 2019, it consisted of around 300 members from the building industry and the judiciary (representatives from universities and colleges, clients, building contractors, architects, experts, etc.). Conferences take place every two years, the scientific advisory board consists of 20 personalities from construction engineering, insurance, construction law and construction management. One of the main tasks is the issuing or participation in building site-specific publications by the members of the CBTR. So u. a. the "Kampfmittelmerkblatt" (www.kampfmittelportal.de), which was published in 2016 together with the main association of the German construction industry and the professional association BAU (in charge: Uwe Hinzmann and Dirk Siewert, co-authors Florian Englert and Klaus Englert). In the same year, the main association of the German construction industry eV, together with the CBTR, also published the leaflet "Construction noise" (in charge: Dirk Siewert, co-authors Stephanie Englert-Dougherty, Axel Wirth and Klaus Englert). The main work of building ground and civil engineering law, namely the "Handbook of building ground and civil engineering law", which was published in the 5th edition in 2016 by Werner Verlag, is published by Englert et al. published in cooperation with the CBTR.
The current president is Axel Wirth , professor for German and international building law at the TU Darmstadt until September 2016. The organ of the CBTR is the journal GEOTECHNIK published by the German Geotechnical Society.
The board consists of:
Johannes Jochem, Vice President, Lawyer and Notary, Wiesbaden
Bernhard Rauch, managing director, professor for building law at the TU Dresden, lawyer, Regensburg
Florian Englert, treasurer, specialist lawyer for building and architectural law, Schrobenhausen
Peter von der Grün, Secretary, District Administrator of the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, Neuburg / Danube
Civil engineering right price
The civil engineering law prize is awarded by the CBTR to personalities from civil engineering and building law who have dealt in a special way with the problems of the building site as a building material from a legal, geotechnical or construction management point of view.
