Targets

Science needs freedom. I want to open up options for action for our scientific success, rather than enforce borders. Structures and strategies in administration should be (further) developed in such a way that they meet the requirements of a University of Excellence and are both service and solution-orientated. TUD shall become one of the most attractive employers in the academic sector.

Tasks

My task is to create the necessary scope of action for the activities in research, teaching, studies and third mission, while maintaining the functioning of the university through reliable administrative, organisational structures and procedures. My areas of responsibility include finance, personnel, general administration, space and property management.

Values

We are all equally responsible for the success of TU Dresden and the satisfaction of our employees. Therefore, I would like us to treat each other with mutual respect, openness and appreciation. For a university of the future, we need personal commitment, mutual help and trusting cooperation across hierarchical, administrative and organisational boundaries.

Responsibilities

The Chancellor heads the administration of the university. He is the budget officer, can take part in the meetings of all committees of the university and comment on the content at any time. The Chancellor is appointed by the Saxon State Ministry for Higher Education, Research, Culture and Tourism.

Discoveries

Fritz-Foerster-Building

The former "Chemical Institutes", which represent the reform architecture since 1926, are a particularly impressive chain of buildings. The architect Martin Dülfer was known for his opulent theatre buildings, headed a chair at the TH Dresden and acted as its Rector. As of 2021 a part of the Central University Administration will be located in the renoveted building. Learn more

Organic Bees

A colourful meadow full of flowers and blossoms: Bees find a real paradise behind the new biological building. A member of the Faculty of Biology takes care of the beehives. There are eight more of these meadows on the campus, which are mowed twice a year at most. Even hares pass by here from time to time. For me, this is a great example of sustainability on campus.

REWE-Team-Challenge

Every year in May the REWE Team-Challenge attracts thousands of runners on a five-kilometre route through Dresden's city centre. TU Dresden also takes part in this competition. In 2019, we even won the award "Largest Team" with 650 runners. Because of the corona pandemic, everyone had to run on their own in 2020 - of course, all participants got their medal. Learn more
