Hütte
German handbook of mechanical engineering / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hütte - Das Ingenieurwissen (originally Des Ingenieurs Taschenbuch, stylized as "HÜTTE" and pronounced IPA: [ˈhʏtə]) is a reference work for engineers of various disciplines. It was compiled for the first time in 1857[2] by the Akademischer Verein Hütte [de] (short Die Hütte, translating as "the hut") of the Königliches Gewerbe-Institut [de] in Berlin, from which the association of German engineers Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) emerged. The authors were members of the association. The technical illustrations were created in woodcut technique by Otto Ebel [de]. It is published in constantly revised editions to this day and is therefore the oldest German reference work still available today.[3]
