Honors

The TU Dresden is entitled to award academic titles honoris causa for special services in teaching and research. Together with the introduction of the right to award doctorates in 1900, the then Technical University of Dresden also had the opportunity to award an honorary doctorate to outstanding personalities. A complete list of honorary doctoral candidates has been compiled by the University Archives of the Technical University of Dresden . The sources and documentation available for this can be viewed by all interested users.

Honorary doctorates (selection)

Honorary senators

Honorary senators are people who have rendered outstanding services to the university and its faculties. The title has been awarded since 1923. Honorary senators are currently elected by the Senate. Here is a selection:

Professors and research assistants

After 1990 working at the TU Dresden

Natural sciences

including math and psychology

Humanities and Social Sciences

including education, law, economics, and non-technical transportation sciences

Engineering

including architecture

Before 1990 worked at the TH / TU Dresden and the integrated scientific institutions

Graduates

The list of graduates only refers to those people who are alumni at TU Dresden or their predecessors. Graduates from the integrated universities (e.g. the University of Transportation ) are not on the list.

In the so-called alumni project , the university archive of the TUD continuously researches graduates who studied and obtained their doctorates at the TU Dresden (and its predecessors) in the 19th and 20th centuries. There are now several lists of names published on the Internet.
