The Academy of Crafts and Design - Gut Rosenberg is a Centre of Excellence of the Aachen Chamber of Crafts and Skilled Trades, www.hwk-aachen.de. Our Academy gives craftsmen with a creative talent the possibility to educate further in design. Since 1985, we have been offering degree courses in design for creative craftspeople. Nowadays, the academy is one of the best in design throughout the federal state NRW.
The quality and philosophy of our academy is characterised by experimenting with innovative ideas, trying new things with regards to the materials´ individual properties and the knowledge of established traditional handicraft. Together with our students, we expand on enthusiasm and passion for design. We do this in awareness of our responsibility for the culture of everyday objects - beyond the limits of each individual craft.

Since the academy's establishment, we were able to establish frequent networks with regard to crafts and design not only in the district, but also on a national and even international level. The very useful exchange of ideas, joint projects or personal contacts help us during our daily work. We would like to thank all of our partners mentioned for their outstanding cooperation!
