Responsibility

The archive is responsible for Mittweida University of Applied Sciences and preserves the records of its predecessor institutions – the Technikum, the School of Engineering and Mittweida University of Engineering – dating back to the educational institution’s foundation in 1865.

Stock levels

The archive’s holdings comprise records from the directorates, the rector’s offices and all departments of the university.

These include academic records, including degree certificates of former students, examination records, doctoral records and personnel files of teaching staff and other employees dating from 1865 onwards. Furthermore, the archive maintains a picture archive and manages the educational institution’s museum collections (Kustodie), which comprise around 3,300 historical objects. With a collection of around 1,800 linear metres of records, including the archive library, 1,650 documents, sketches and plans, 15,000 photographs and negatives, 560 film and audio documents, 660 slides and 4,500 historical postcards, the staff make archive records and collection items available to a wide range of users at the Mittweida site.
