Friedrich List - namesake and pioneer of modern transportation systems

The Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences bears the name "Friedrich List" in memory of one of the most important pioneers of modern transportation. As early as the 19th century, List campaigned for the expansion of an efficient railroad network in Germany and recognized the economic and social importance of networked transport systems at an early stage. With the first German long-distance train between Leipzig and Dresden in 1839, his work is closely linked to Saxony's transport history. The naming honors his contribution to the development of integrated transport structures across borders - a guiding principle that still shapes research and teaching at the faculty today.
