The Kurt Beyer Award was donated by HOCHTIEF Construction AG in 1996 and has been awarded by HOCHTIEF Solutions AG since 2011. Prof. Kurt Beyer (1881 - 1952) is considered one of the profile-defining university teachers of the Technische Hochschule Dresden (now Technische Universität Dresden). He was an internationally recognised expert in the fields of steel construction and bridge building, among others. His most important theoretical work "Die Statik im Eisenbetonbau" (1927) is also called the "Beyer Bible". In 1952, the listed building that Martin Dülfer had erected between 1910 and 1913 for the civil engineering department of the TH Dresden was named after Kurt Beyer.
