- Abstract (EN)
- Industrial design at TUD Dresden University of Technology prioritizes human needs and experiencing in designing complex novel systems for desirable futures. For this purpose, it integrates human-centred design, engineering and social sciences, with a tradition going back to the 1950s. The Industrial Design Collection is comparatively young. It is also a relatively small and unprocessed collection. Nevertheless, it is of relevance for research into the history of design, product development and material culture in the GDR. Parts of the estate of Rudi Högner form the cornerstone of the Collection. Högner was the founder of design at TUD and had a particular influence on design in the GDR. In addition, there are objects from conceptual and development projects of the 1970s and 1980s undertaken by the Industrial Design Working Group at TUD in collaboration with industry. These objects provide an insight into the processes of design in the GDR. Design in Eastern Europe and especially in the GDR has attracted increased attention in academic research in terms of its history, its approaches and solutions. TUD’s Industrial Design Collection provides a piece of the puzzle concerned with researching design in the GDR, together with extensive inventories in the Federal Archives and at the “Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland” in Berlin, and at the Horst Michel Archive of the Bauhaus University in Weimar, which has been processed in recent years. Other inventories are held at the archives and academic heritage offices of Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, at the Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin, and also at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts (HfBK). 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, interest in the subject had become visible in various ways. In 2014, Karl Clauss Dietel was the first designer from East Germany to receive the Federal Award for Design for his life’s work. Likewise, in 2014, the biography of Martin Kelm, the long-time head of the GDR’s Office of Industrial Design, was published in a collaborative project at TUD. Inventories from the Industrial Design Collection were also used for this publication (Wölfel et al. 2014). Similarily, inventories from the Collection have been used for the touring exhibition on German Design 1949—1989 by the Saxon State Collections and the Vitra Design Museum. Additions from 1990 onwards complement the inventory from the GDR. The Collection includes a total of well over 100 objects from the field of aesthetic design fundamentals, more than 50 design models of products, machines, vehicles, airplanes and other items, some prototypes and series products as well as numerous documents, drawings, photographs, and slides, most of which were created at TUD or are related to the activities of designers at TUD.
