Universität Berlin
The establishment of the Building Academy
in 1799 is generally regarded as the true birth
of the Technische Universität Berlin. The
Mining Academy, founded in 1770, and the
Vocational Academy, founded in 1821, were
also important predecessors of the presentday
TU Berlin. The Building and Vocational
Academies were combined in 1879 to form
the Royal Technical College of Berlin. In 1899
it became the first technical college in the
German Empire to be granted the right to

Mining Academy was incorporated. One year
later, professors with budgeted posts at the
Technical College were given the status of
full university professors. In 1922 the various
divisions became faculties.
