[edit] Partly tidied Babelfish translation of de:Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg

Freiberg etabliert sich als "Universität der geschlossenen Stoffkreisläufe" in der weltweiten Forschungslandschaft als moderne, ökologische Hochschule.

Seit 2003 wird von der TUBAF der vom Verein der PraxisPartner des dortigen Interdisziplinären Ökologischen Zentrums (IÖZ) gestiftete Hans-Carl-von-Carlowitz-Preis für herausragende Leistungen im Bereich der Umweltforschung an der TU Bergakademie Freiberg vergeben. Mit dem Preis sollen herausragende Arbeiten von Studenten und Nachwuchswissenschaftlern, aber auch das Wirken von Hans Carl von Carlowitz eine Würdigung erfahren.

Meist werden mit der TU Bergakademie die Geowissenschaften verbunden, in denen sie Weltruf besitzt und die größte Gesteins- und Mineraliensammlung der Welt vorweisen kann. Diese wird ab 2008 in Schloss Freudenstein ausgestellt werden. Entwicklungsarbeit wurde aber auch auf anderen Gebieten geleistet. So wurden zwei chemische Elemente von Freiberger Wissenschaftlern entdeckt: das Indium (1863 von Ferdinand Reich und Theodor Richter) und das Germanium (1886 von Clemens Winkler).

The Bergakademie Freiberg was established in 1765, by Prince Xaver after the plans of Friedrich William of Oppel, Carl William Benno of Heynitz, and Friedrich Anton of Heynitz as training centre for miners and is thereby after Potosí (Bolivia, 1557-1786), Kongsberg (Norway, 1757-1814), Banská##?tiavnica (1762-1919), and Prague (1762-1772) the fifth-oldest mining engineering academy. It was set up because Saxony had to force the mining industry to grow to pay reparations after defeat in the Seven years War.

Up to the establishment of the Technische Universität Dresden in 1871 the Bergakademie Freiberg was the highest technical educational facility of the Kingdom of Saxony. The Bergakademie Freiberg was in 1899 put on the same level asa technical university, had in 1905 graduation right for the degree of a Doctor of Engineering and in 1939 for a Dr. rer. nat. It has had a faculty for mining industry and metallurgical engineering since 1940 and since 1955 an engineer-economic and mathematical-scientific faculty.In the year 1955 the worker and farmer faculty "William Pieck" was furnished. Within the range process engineering (brown coal gasification) professors Erich Rammler and George Bilkenroth were honored for their work for the high temperature coke-ification of brown coal in 1951 with the national prize 1st Class of the GDR.

In the course of the German reunification the structure was arranged new as legal infrastructure of the Bergakademie to large parts. In most recent time the TU Bergakademie Freiberg developed also authority within the field of semiconductor research, which led to semiconductor industry enterprises (Wacker Siltronic, German solar - a daughter of the SolarWorld AG) settling in Freiberg. Apart from geological and materials sciences the TUBAF developed an ever larger reputation within the range of the environmental sciences. Freiberg is established as "university of the closed material cycles" in the world-wide research landscape as a modern ecological university.

Since 2003 the Hans Carl von Carlowitz Prize for outstanding achievements within the range of the environmental research, was donated by TUBAF of the center (IOEZ), of the association of the practice partners of the Interdisciplinary Ecological Center (IÖZ), to TU Bergakademie Freiberg to assign. With the prize is outstanding work of students and the new generation of scientists, but also the works of Hans Carl von Carlowitz experience an appreciation.

Usually with TU Bergakademie are connected the geosciences, in which it has world-wide reputation, and it can show the largest rock and mineral collection of the world. This will be disaplayed starting from 2008 in Schloss Freudenstein. In addition, development was carried out in other areas. Thus two chemical elements were discovered by Freiberger scientists: indium (1863 by Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter) and germanium (1886 of Clemens Winkler).
