OverviewA history of Austria’s Chambers of Engineers This book is the first history of Austria’s Chambers of Chartered Engineering Consultants from the foundation of the institution of chartered engineering consultants in 1860 up to the Ziviltechnikergesetz of 1957. In addition to tracing the history of the organization, the book tackles head-on the controversial issue of collaboration with the Nazi regime and the fate of those chartered engineering consultants who were persecuted. Selected biographies reveal the extent of the chambers’ autonomy and show how members’ careers were made and broken during this period, as well as discriminatory measures. A special concern of this book is to keep alive the memory of those chartered engineering consultants who fell victim to the Nazi regime. With this thorough and scientific reappraisal, Austria’s Federal Chamber of Chartered Engineering Consultants has taken an important step in taking responsibility for its own history.
