“…Digital Mechanism and Gear Library. As already mentioned, the DMG-Lib project (Digital Mechanism and Gear Library, see related Section 2.4.1 and Figure 15 as an example), led by Torsten Brix, was extended from a national project (funded by DFG) into a European network of six European partners (Corves et al 2011). TU Ilmenau has the obligation to maintain DMG-Lib permanently, and its content is still being expanded.…”

“…In a second period (2010–2013) the concept was extended to six European partners: the University of the Basque Country in Leioa/Lejona close to Bilbao; Institut Français de Mécanique Avancée (IFMA) in Aubière/France; RWTH Aachen/Germany; TU Ilmenau/Germany; Università degli Studi di Cassino et del Lazio Meridionale/Italy; Universitatea Politehnica Timisoara/Romania. Thus, the DMG-Lib database could be considerably extended (Corves et al 2011). The title of this project was “ThinkMotion,” funded by the European Union under the Europeana initiative 11…”

Ilmenau is a relatively small town in a beautiful landscape, close to the centre of Germany. Since 1894 it has been the home of a Technical College which after World War II and through some permutations became today’s Technische Universität Ilmenau. For 70 years the university has contributed to Design Science. It is interesting to note that the fundamentals were developed in practice, at the Carl Zeiss company in Jena; it was only later that the new ideas were further developed for academic research and teaching in Ilmenau. The origins at Zeiss Jena still account for the main application area at Technische Universität Ilmenau today: Precision Engineering which, in addition to mechanical, has always included electric, electronic, control, software, and even optical components (“mechatronics” before the term was coined). This article – written by three (out of four in total) of the professors who were and are, respectively, in charge over almost 50 out of the 70 years – tells the story of Design Science in Ilmenau: background, beginnings, development, contributions to research, teaching, and transfer to industry. As Ilmenau was situated in the German Democratic Republic (“East Germany”) between 1949 and 1990, the story is not free of political and societal implications, some of them quite surprising.
