„ For architects, the Bauentwurfslehre is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for a building typology and is now available in its 44th edition“

Ernst Neufert's lectures at the Bauhochschule Weimar formed the basis for his handbook. Neufert gathered dimensions, experiences and results from practice and research, necessary for the planning of buildings, until he could publish the 1st edition of the Bauentwurfslehre in 1936.

Since 1936 the Bauentwurfslehre has been continuously updated. Now it's available in its 44th edition. The “Neufert” has been translated in 22 languages.

Updates of the construction design theory.

Since the 38th edition, published in 2005, the architect Johannes Kister and his authors Patricia Merkel, Mathias Brockhaus and Matthias Lohmann have been working on updates of the theory of structural design.

Since then six new editions have been published. Over the years, the wealth of information has been divided into respective "departments" and continuously edited.
