History of the Bergakademie foundations
The history of the foundations for the Freiberg Mining Academy dates back to 1702, when the Saxon Elector established a scholarship fund at the Freiberg Mining Office. Over the course of time, the Bergakademie continued to receive donations, which were initially used primarily to support students and later increasingly for research infrastructure. After 1990, the idea of foundations, which had been interrupted after the Second World War, was revived in an impressive way. In a short space of time, important foundations were established, such as the "Sparkassen-Stiftung" (1998), the "Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg" Foundation (2002), the "Pohl-Ströher-Mineralienstiftung" (2004), the "Dr Erich Krüger-Stiftung" (2006) and the "Dr Frank-Michael und Marianne Engel-Stiftungsfonds" (2009).
