Annual review and history of the Institute

Our Annual Review 2020

The extremely unusual year 2020 has required a lot from all of us - both professionally and privately. Especially in these times, we realized how important team spirit is and how much personal exchange means. The work at the institute this year was characterized by creativity, digitization and innovation.

We have completely digitized our lessons with live lectures, enriched with knowledge state questions, voting tools and avatars. Projects were increasingly researched from the home office and, for example, workshops were conducted interactively and online in the spirit of participation.

History of the Institute

The Institute of Construction Management at the TH Hannover was established in 1962 by resolution of the Lower Saxony state parliament. Mr. Hans Jebe first received a teaching assignment in 1963 and took over the newly founded institution in 1966. In order to put more emphasis on construction management, the chair was renamed "Lehrstuhl für Baubetrieb und Baubetriebswirtschaft" in March 1971.

After Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans Jebe retired, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Gustav Olshausen took over the chair in 1978 and from then on headed the Institute of the University of Hanover until he handed it over to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerhard Iwan.

Since April 2016, the Institute is headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katharina Klemt-Albert. With the new orientation, which is also reflected in the institute's name, the institute's research focus is now on construction management and digital engineering.
