Anyone who can prove that they have a professionally qualified university degree in civil engineering and sufficient professional liability insurance in accordance with the Thuringian Chamber of Architects and Engineers Act (ThürAIKG) will be entered in the list of restricted building design authorizations at the Thuringian Chamber of Engineers upon application. As a civil engineer in this sense, you must be a graduate of a university or technical college. As part of a degree course in civil engineering, you have been taught the essential course content in subjects such as structural analysis, building mechanics, building materials science, building physics, structural engineering or hydraulic engineering. In detail, these requirements must be met

• A course of study primarily focused on civil engineering with the designation "Civil Engineering" or equivalent courses of study with at least 3 years of study corresponding to 180 credit points as defined by the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
• At least 135 ECTS credits must be earned in subjects that can be assigned to civil engineering. These include
  • Subjects that provide a sound basic knowledge in the field of natural sciences: in particular higher mathematics, technical mechanics, building physics, building chemistry, building materials science and technical representation
  • Subjects that teach general subject-specific basics of civil engineering: in particular building construction, object planning of buildings, structural design, building informatics, geoinformatics, digital construction, numerical modeling, geotechnics, soil mechanics and geodesy
  • Subjects that impart specific knowledge of structural engineering: in particular structural analysis, solid construction (concrete, reinforced concrete and masonry construction), steel and metal construction, timber construction, composite construction, glass construction and plastics, bridge construction
  • Subjects that provide in-depth knowledge in special areas of civil engineering: in particular water management, hydraulic engineering, urban water management, waste management and contaminated sites, transport planning, public transport systems and transport routes (road, rail), road engineering
  • Subjects that provide in-depth knowledge of construction management: in particular construction project management, construction process management and construction management, construction planning management
  • Study subjects that teach further general basics: in particular building law, more specifically planning law, regulatory law, civil law (contracts, liability), construction in existing buildings, ecology, foreign languages (specialist vocabulary) and technical building equipment.
• The proportion of the first 4 subjects mentioned must amount to at least 110 ECTS points.

Persons who are established in another member state of the European Union or equivalent states as persons with limited authorization to submit building plans possess the limited authorization to submit building plans even without being entered in the corresponding register at the Thuringian Chamber of Engineers if they

• have a comparable authorization and
• had to fulfill comparable requirements as described above.

They must notify the Thuringian Chamber of Engineers in advance of their first activity as a person with limited authorization to submit building plans in the Free State of Thuringia and submit appropriate proof of the legality of the exercise of the limited authorization to submit building plans in their country of origin and the fulfillment of the requirements.
