Campus of Opposites - The architecture of TU Berlin and its re-establishment 75 years ago

A new institution of higher education came into being in Berlin on 9 April 1946: Technische Universität Berlin. The re-establishment of a university of technology in Berlin under a new name and ethos at the end of the Second World War represented a new democratic start. This year, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of this event.“Campus of Opposites” explores how the new beginning in 1946 manifested itself in the University’s architecture as well as its research and teaching. What should the University look like? How could old and new be brought together? Many of the motives and goals of the reconstruction process have been lost over the course of time and require explanation. Dr. Hans-Dieter Nägelke, Head of TU Berlin’s Architecture Museum, and Julia Meyer-Brehm, student of art history at TU Berlin, know all about the many special features, oddities and even outright eccentricities of the architecture of the campus: Steps that do not lead straight up, buildings that straddle visual axes or rise up into the sky like exclamation marks. In the course of a twenty-minute tour of the campus accompanied by a drone flight, Nägelke and Meyer-Brehm provide a knowledgeable, entertaining and fascinating commentary on why the campus looks the way it does and how this relates to the founding of Technische Universität Berlin on 9 April 1946.
