Department of Architecture



The Department of Architecture (ARC) is located at the Munich campus.




= History

=
With the foundation of the Polytechnische Schule München in 1868, architecture was first organized as the "Structural Engineering College". In 1879, Friedrich von Thiersch was appointed Professor of Architecture; his students include Max Berg, Ernst May, Otto Rudolf Salvisberg and Heinrich Tessenow. Hugo Häring and Erich Mendelsohn studied under Theodor Fischer, who was appointed Professor for Design and Urban Planning in 1908.
By 1914, the number of Chairs for Architectural Design had risen to four. During the Weimar Republic, Adolf Abel, Robert Vorhoelzer and German Bestelmeyer were among the leading members of the staff. After the Nazi party seized power, Vorhoelzer was dismissed for "building Bolshevik" and succeeded by Roderich Fick. When Bestelmeyer died, he was replaced by Julius Schulte-Frohlinde, a staunch supporter of Nazism.
After the war, teaching resumed in 1946. Robert Vorhoelzer returned to his post and organized the rebuilding of the Department. By 1968, the number of chairs increased to 17, and the number of students to 850.
With the introduction of the Bologna Process, the Department has since adopted Bachelor's and Master's programs.

= History

19th century

Mechanical engineering was one of the original departments of the newly founded Polytechnische Schule München in 1868, then called the Mechanical-Technical Department. Johann Bauschinger was professor for Technical Mechanics and Graphical Statics. In 1871, he founded the Mechanical-Technical Laboratory. He was succeeded by August Föppl in 1894.
Carl von Linde, who held the Chair of Theoretical Machine Science, established the Laboratory of Machine Science in 1875. Moritz Schröter, a distinguished expert in the field of technical thermodynamics, succeeded him in 1879. In 1902, von Linde returned as associate professor of Applied Thermodynamics. On his initiative, the Laboratory for Technical Physics was established.
In 1880, Rudolf Diesel graduated with the best marks since the university was established. His invention of the Diesel engine was a groundbreaking innovation, despite his initial calculations about the degree of efficiency being far too optimistic.



20th century

In 1901, the first chair of electrical engineering was established at the department. Though initially viewed as a part of mechanical engineering, it grew increasingly more independent. In the 1940s, the department's name was changed to Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and by 1974, electrical engineering was separated into a new department.
Willy Messerschmitt graduated from the department in 1923. He established the Messerschmitt Flugzeugbau GmbH while still a student, which would later become the Messerschmitt AG in 1938. In 1930, he was granted a lectureship on the construction and design of aircraft, and in 1937, he was appointed honorary professor.
In Nazi Germany, the university was brought into line, partly by force, partly by conviction, and partly out of anticipatory obedience. Jewish members and those with politically undesirable views were expelled.
During World War II, the department conducted large-scale research in support of the war effort, for example in the fields of aircraft design, torpedo propulsion, petrol injection and substitute fuels for car and aircraft engines.
After the war, teaching resumed in 1946, though denazification expelled 13 of 24 lecturers, four of whom which were reinstated by 1953. The chairs for aviation research were shut down and did not operate again until the Paris Agreements ended Allied occupation of Germany.
In 1951, Gustav Niemann established the Chair of Machine Elements. In 1967, the founding of the Institute of Machine Tools and Industrial Engineering instigated a shift to research to information technology and production engineering.
By 1990, almost 5,000 students were enrolled at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In 1997, the department relocated to a new 60,000 m2 building on the Garching campus.



21st century

In 2018, aerospace and geodesy at TUM became a separate Department of Aerospace and Geodesy.
