Congratulations to our graduates!
On Saturday, 25 October 2025, we celebrated, applauded and said goodbye in the Maurice Halbwachs Auditorium – to a period of study full of projects, challenges and unforgettable moments. Dean Prof. Tom Lahmer hosted the event and encouraged our 224 graduates to break new ground and trust in their own abilities. Inspiring speeches by alumna Ni Michelle Ying and Master's graduate Jinyue Chi, live music by Johanna Phillip and Tim Ahlfeld, and many personal encounters made the ceremony a special highlight of the year. Senior Professor Hans-Joachim Bargstädt honoured two graduates with the Young Talent Award from the Association of Friends of Civil Engineering and Building Materials Engineering (vfbb) for their outstanding theses:
Winners of the Erhard Hampe Award 2025
Jonas Braune, B.Sc.

Claudia Föllmer, M.Sc.
Master's thesis on »Analysis and concept development for the digitalisation of approval processes for large-scale and heavy transport in the construction industry«
We wish all Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral graduates of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering all the best for their future careers – and hope that you will have fond memories of your time in Weimar!
