List of namesake of buildings of the Technical University of Dresden

Compared to many other universities in Germany, the Technical University of Dresden has the special feature that the majority of its university buildings are named after people. These are predominantly scientists who worked at the TU Dresden or one of its predecessor institutions and who had a close relationship with the building named after them. Exceptions are the politician Georg Schumann , who was executed in the courtyard of the Georg Schumann Building (former district court ) named after him , and the Japanese politician Nabeshima Naotsugu , who was a patron of the TU Dresden and was awarded an honorary doctorate by her. The 2008 named Günther Landgraf Building, the former Rector of the TU Dresden, was named after the first freely elected rector of the Technical University of Dresden after the political turn of 1989/90 Günther Landgraf , who has, however, acted as a scientist at the University.

The first name for a building of the TH Dresden took place in 1928. The main building of the mechanical department was named "Zeuner-Bau" on the occasion of the 100th birthday of Gustav Anton Zeuner . A birthday anniversary was also the reason for the naming in other cases, for example Heinrich Barkhausen's 70th birthday, Enno Heidebroek's 110th birthday or Christian Otto Mohr's 150th birthday.

The list of namesake of buildings of the TU Dresden also contains a list of namesake of other institutions of the TU Dresden. The university has named a few lecture halls and laboratories after the university's influential personalities who have been mentioned for the sake of completeness, for example Willibald Lichtenheldt was honored by naming a lecture hall on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

A building was last named in January 2017, when the new building of the Institute for Photophysics was named "Hermann-Krone-Bau" after the photographer and professor for photography Hermann Krone . The last name given to another institution was in November 2012 when the "Alfred Post lecture hall" was inaugurated.

Explanation

Parts of the lists can be sorted. The basic structure of the lists proceeds alphabetically according to the last names of the namesake. The list of namesake of buildings of the TU Dresden can also be sorted according to the location of the individual buildings and according to the year in which they were named. Since the latter could not be determined in every case for the list of namesake from other institutions of the TU Dresden, there is only the additional option of sorting the location.

The meaning of the individual list columns is self-explanatory. If the function of a building is the main building of a faculty, the individual institutes are not listed separately for reasons of space. If an institute is located outside of the faculty building, it is listed separately under Function with the introductory abbreviation “Inst. f. "(" Institute for ") called.
