The KIT Department of Architecture
The history of the department dates back to the founding of the University of Karlsruhe in 1825. The tradition of the Karlsruhe Faculty of Architecture can be traced through numerous well-known names: from Friedrich Weinbrenner and Johann Gottfried Tulla to Heinrich Hübsch and personalities such as Egon Eiermann, Fritz Haller and Dieter Kienast. Today, our professors and the broadly based teaching staff guarantee practice-oriented and contemporary teaching for the approximately 1,000 students.
At present, 21 professors and a broadly based teaching staff guarantee practice-oriented and up-to-date teaching for around 1,000 students.
