The collection of architectural drawings at the Technische Hochschule Dresden was established
by Cornelius Gurlitt in 1897. By 1928, it had become the largest of its kind in Germany. Most of
these holdings were transferred to the archives of the Saxon State Office for the Preservation
of Monuments at the end of the 1920s. After the Second World War, the collection was re-
constructed, mainly through the archiving of survey drawings of historical buildings carried out
by students as research projects. Today, the collection includes plans and drawings for more
than 1,000 buildings, predominantly in Saxony but also in other eastern federal states and
neigh bouring countries. In addition, there are competition projects, plans and sketches by
well-known Dresden architects, coloured drawings from around 1900, as well as some out s-
tanding student projects from the end of the 19th century. The collection is continuously
supple mented by new student projects.
