The seminar rooms
All eleven seminar rooms at TUM Science & Study Center Raitenhaslach offer all the comfort of a modern conference center in historical atmosphere. The center also boasts two additional study rooms offering the opportunity to take some time out on your own or in small groups for concentrated work.
At one time, the rooms of the prelate's wing were home to high-ranking guests of the Cistercian monks in Raitenhaslach. Secular and religious figures lived in the rooms where today people from all over the globe come together to convene and interact. Away from everyday life, the site offers plenty of space for creativity and reflection.
Every seminar room here carries the name of a person who has made a significant contribution to academia in the past or present. All of the individuals are also closely connected to the Technical University of Munich.
The unique charm of Raitenhaslach really comes into its own here. The intricate ceiling fresco and the painted historical wooden floor give this seminar room an unmistakable character. Larger seminar groups will feel right at home in this light-flooded space.
She was the first female in Germany to head a Chair for Business Administration, and she was the first female professor at the Technical University of Munich: Liesel Beckmann (1914-1965).

Oskar von Miller (1855-1934) is best known as the founder of the Deutsches Museum. He studied engineering at the Technische Hochschule München until 1878. Soon he came to focus on the fledgling concept of electro-technology and intensively contributed to development in the field: In 1894 he built Germany's first power station in Munich. However, Miller's most important inventions were those relating to the use of hydro-electric power. The Walchensee power plant was built on his pioneering spirit – it was the world's first run-of-river power plant.

The room is ideal for group work or large meetings.
Rudolf Diesel, born in Paris in 1858, started his degree in 1875 at the Polytechnische Schule and then the Technische Hochschule München. In 1880, he sat his exams under Carl von Linde, before the inventor and engineer registered his idea for the "combustion engine", now known as the diesel engine, in Berlin in 1892. Rudolf Diesel was last seen alive on board the Dresden ferry in the English Channel on September 29, 1913.

He was an engineer, inventor and founder of what has become an internationally-renowned group: Carl Linde, born in 1842, knighted to become Ritter von Linde in 1897 and died in Munich in 1934. Aged 26, Linde was appointed to the Polytechnische Schule München, which later became the Technical University of Munich. He worked as a professor for mechanical engineering at the university until 1879. In the same year, he founded Gesellschaft für Linde's Eismaschinen AG, a company that became Linde AG. Historically speaking, it was the university's first spin-off. Shortly before founding his company, Linde invented the refrigerator. From 1892 to 1910, he withdrew from his company to readopt his professorship in Munich and discovered the principle of the liquefaction of air.

In 1906, Anna Helene Boyksen enrolled at TH München as the first female student of electrical engineering. This required a decree by the Royal Bavarian Government in 1905, which permitted women to study at a technical university for the first time. After marriage, Anna Helene Koch went on to study economics and law. In 1911, she completed her doctorate at the University of Erlangen.
