Bauhütten, also called Dombauhütten or Hütten, was the workshop associated with Gothic cathedral construction in Europe. Among the major Gothic huts were those in Bern (later Zurich), Vienna, Cologne, and, most important of all, Strasbourg, which also claimed other side huts in its catchment area.
The construction of Romanesque churches developed from the building of churches by monks through the organization of Gothic cathedrals, which included a wide variety of crafts. Special features included the organizational form of stonemasons in the stonemason brotherhood.
Since the guilds only organized masters of other trades, the journeymen were organized separately. Thus, a major distinction must be made between the Steinmetz Brotherhood, the Bauhütte, and the guild. The workshop organization, or Bauhüttenwesen, began in the Middle Ages on the construction sites of European cathedrals. Now, as then, these workshop networks are home to various trades collaborating closely.
The term Bauhüttenwesen refers to both the organization of a workshop network or Bauhüttenunternehmen as a place of work, as well as the actual workshop itself. As the Middle Ages came to an end, these workshops have become a supra-regional network, extending far beyond national borders.
The workshops preserve the traditional customs and rituals of their respective professions, as well as a wealth of knowledge that has come down through generations, orally and in writing. Due to a progressive shortage of technical skills and increasing mechanization and cost optimization, workshops that were established or revived in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have become institutions that preserve and transmit traditional techniques and know-how.
As a result of their efforts to safeguard and promote living heritage, they have achieved a high level of awareness-raising, information and communication measures. They have also worked closely with investors in the field of politics, the church, monument conservation, business, and research. This can serve as an example that can be adapted and implemented internationally.
Using their organization and training system for on-site practice, the workshops can be considered a model for building and maintaining all types of buildings. Another more recent establishment is the Jugendbauhütten of the German Foundation for Monument Protection, which owns the trademark for the brand name "Jugendbauhütte". This was registered on January 5, 2000.
By completing the voluntary year in the preservation of monuments (FJD), young people develop historical craft techniques. Furthermore, they gain knowledge of the history of architecture and become familiar with the work associated with the preservation of monuments.
