Federation of German-language architecture collections
The Federation of German-Language Architectural Collections was founded on June 19, 1997 in the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt am Main; until its supranational orientation in 2016, it was called the Federation of German Architectural Collections .
It is an amalgamation of institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that collect, preserve and display evidence of architecture. The federation's task is to promote building culture and its regional diversity in the German-speaking area and to bring it to public awareness. In addition, the association serves to exchange information about archival holdings on architectural history, to initiate research projects and to work on exhibitions and publications.
In cooperation with the Institute for Foreign Relations (ifa), the Federation created the touring exhibition Two German Architectures 1949–1989 , curated by Hartmut Frank and Simone Hain , from the holdings of its member institutions , which has been shown in numerous cities around the world since 2004, most recently in 2017/18 Technical University of Berlin .
The federation is the German-speaking section of the International Confederation of Architectural Museums (ICAM), the world association of architectural museums.
Eva-Maria Barkhofen (Berlinische Galerie, then Akademie der Künste) had been the spokeswoman for the Federation since 1999, and Hans-Dieter Nägelke (Architekturmuseum TU Berlin) was elected spokesperson as its successor in 2019 . Since the same year, Christian Benedik (Albertina Vienna) and Kai Drewes (IRS Erkner) have been deputy speakers.
