The Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (University of Applied Sciences for Engineering and Economics) or HTW Berlin in Berlin, Germany is the largest public University of Applied Sciences in Berlin and Eastern Germany. It has over 13,000 students and 70 programs in areas of engineering, computer science, business and graphic arts.[1]
History
HTW is a result of several mergings of pre-existing institutions.
1874 – founding of the Technical School for Demontage, Montage and Design, which later became the Textile and Fashion School of Berlin. It then became the Engineering School for Clothing Technology, and was incorporated into the Engineering College of Berlin, in 1990.
1948 – the Engineering School for Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering was founded. This was renamed the Engineering College in 1988
1950 – the former Kant Gymnasium (high school) was reinstituted as the Institute for Planned Economy. In 1954 this was renamed into "Economics College", which was one of the premier institutes for Marxist–Leninist economical studies and research in Eastern Germany. The last rector was Christa Luft, who was the last Minister for Business in the German Democratic Republic. This school was dissolved in 1989 after the Berlin Wall came down.
1991 – the Technische Fachhochschule Berlin, TFH, was charged with founding the FHTW, unifying the Engineering College and other colleges as well as the Economics College, located at five different places around the former East Berlin. The TFH was given responsibility for setting up the administration and hiring new teachers, although much of the staff remained with their respective schools.
1994 – the FHTW was formally declared independent.
1996 – integration of the University of Applied Sciences German Telecom into the school
2004 – the FHTW celebrated its tenth anniversary
2009 – the name changed from FHTW into HTW
