Because of the endeavors by teacher Alois Riedler and Adolf Slaby, executive of the Association of German Engineers (VDI) and the Association for Electrical, Electronic as well as Information Technologies (VDE), in 1899 the "Illustrious Technical College" was the first Technische Hochschule in Germany that honored a doctorate, and additionally the Diplom as standard degree for graduates.

In 1916 the long-standing Bergakademie Berlin, the Prussian mining institute made by the geologist Carl Abraham Gerhard in 1770 at the command of King Frederick the Great, was partnered with the "Polytechnic University in Berlin".
