Fields of Study in the Conservation and Restoration Degree Programme

In the Bachelor's degree programme, small objects, furniture and other wooden furnishings, whose surfaces may be finished with marquetry, stains, coatings and decorative paintings, are generally examined and worked on.
In the Master's programme, the focus is on building-related room elements, such as wood panelling on walls and ceilings, wooden floors, windows, doors, stairs, chairs and wooden constructions in historical buildings.

The focus is on the classical field of natural stone in the sense of sculpture and building. Other focal points are the regionally significant materials brick and terracotta, but also "artificial stone" such as reinforced concrete sculptures as well as the coloured setting on all these materials.

In addition to the defined areas of wall and ceiling painting on inorganic substrates, this includes the identification of historical architectural colours in interior and exterior areas. The subjects of mosaics and stucco complement the subject matter.

An important focus is on bronze monuments, sculptures and building ornaments made of sheet copper, cast zinc and lead, galvanoplastics as well as building parts made of steel, wrought and cast iron and precious metal objects from museum collections. In addition, there are objects from the field of monument conservation.
