Business Institute Berlin
The Gewerbeinstitut Berlin was inaugurated on November 1, 1821 as the Royal Technical Institute in Berlin . It should train skilled workers for manufacturing branches.
founding
Under the direction of Peter Beuth , the first Berlin commercial institute was conceived as a teaching facility on April 29, 1820 and inaugurated as the Royal Technical Institute in Klosterstrasse 36 on November 1, 1821 . She embodied Beuth's ideals of that time in the association for the promotion of industry . The lowest classes were also called trade schools and required a solid elementary school qualification as an entry requirement.
The Bergakademie Berlin (founded in 1770) and the Berlin Bauakademie (founded in 1799), which trained specialists for public administration, served as the founding models.
The institute was renamed the Royal Trade Institute in 1827 and the Royal Trade Academy in 1866 . From 1860 the Abitur was necessary to enter .
In 1846 a school association was formed, the association of pupils of the Royal Industrial Institute (Hütte eV). According to the statutes, the aim of the association was "to bring the pupils of the trade institute closer together, partly for mutual instruction, partly for social entertainment". Ten years later the Association of German Engineers (VDI) emerged from this, and the “hut” itself continued into the 20th century.
Foundation of the Technical University of Berlin
On April 1, 1879, the industrial academy was merged with the building academy to form the Royal Technical University of Charlottenburg (also: Charlottenburg Polytechnic ), the new buildings of which were ceremoniously opened in Charlottenburg on November 2, 1884 .
On October 1, 1916, the mining academy was also integrated. In other places in the German Reich , such mergers gave rise to polytechnic universities, sometimes called higher industrial schools , which could be misunderstood .
In autumn 1927 the geodetic department of the Agricultural University Berlin was transferred to the Royal Technical University of Charlottenburg (TH).
