Honorary citizenship of TUD Dresden University of Technology for Christiane Schaufler-Münch
Christiane Schaufler-Münch awarded honorary citizenship (posthumously) with TUD Rector Ursula M. Staudinger and Ingo Smit, Chairman of the Board of The Schaufler Foundation
TUD has posthumously made Christiane Schaufler-Münch an honorary citizen in recognition of her extraordinary commitment to science, art and education. She was honored for the close and long-standing support of THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION, which she co-founded, and its support for TUD.
This includes, among other things:
- the interdisciplinary Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden,
- the endowment of the Chair of Refrigeration and Cryogenics,
- numerous scholarship programs
- and funding for the construction of the new Dresden University School
With the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden, Christiane Schaufler-Münch has co-founded a place where the dialog between art, science and society is actively lived - a vision that has shaped the Lab since its foundation.
The Schaufler Lab is deeply indebted to Ms. Schaufler-Münch - without her foresight and generosity, this special place would be unthinkable.
The honorary citizenship was decided back in March 2025. Rector Prof. Dr. Ursula Staudinger has now presented the certificate to Ingo Smit, Chairman of THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION.
