Sponsorship Award of the Ruth and Erich Rossmann Foundation

The Ruth and Erich Rossmann Foundation was established in 2000. It supports talented diploma and master's graduates of the Department of Architecture by means of a one-year postgraduate or continuing education course at a university of architecture abroad.

Erich Rossmann (1925-2010), himself a graduate of the Karlsruhe Department of Architecture and a student of Egon Eiermann, worked as an architect in Karlsruhe from the 1950s onwards. With the architectural firm Rossmann und Partner he realized, among others, the Mathematical Research Institute Oberwolfach (1972-74) or the City Library in Reutlingen (1979-85). At the Department of Architecture, where he was an honorary professor from 1978, he helped shape teaching, especially in the 1980s.

His great commitment to students is still evident today through the work of the Rossmann Foundation.
