30 years HTW Dresden

We celebrate anniversary.

30 years ago, on 16 July 1992, the founding of the Dresden University of Applied Sciences was completed with the presentation of the foundation charter by the then Minister of State for Science and Art of the Free State of Saxony, Professor Hans Joachim Meyer. As early as October 1992, teaching and study began for 1,000 students in 15 degree programmes as well as in a number of postgraduate programmes.

Today, around 4,800 students are studying in 42 study programmes at the Dresden University of Applied Sciences.  With its strongly practice-oriented teaching and research, the HTW Dresden ranks among the top universities of applied sciences (HAW) in Germany.

We warmly invite you to celebrate our 30th anniversary together this year. There will be several events and activities throughout the year. On this website we will take you on a journey through the history of the university. We will also introduce you to members and supporters of the university. Because what essentially forms the university and makes it successful are the people who shape it.

 

30 years of teaching, researching, studying and working together. What better way to tell history and the future than through people's stories. I invite all university members to participate in our anniversary with their ideas.

Programme

  • 1 June 2022 University birthday party for Dies academicus
  • 8 July 2022 Alumni meeting of the faculties for the LNDW
  • Matriculation ceremony with emphasis on the 30th anniversary of the university 
  • Exhibition "alumni in portrait" (Prof. Roland Stenzel and Peter Sebb)
    The detailed programme will be announced soon.

People of our university

Here we would like to introduce you to people from our university community. In a number of interviews, we show what paths our students are taking, what alumni have accomplished and what a research career at a university can look like. In addition, professors, employees and students talk about what connects them to our university and what they would like to have in the future. Enjoy reading.
