BMSTU was started as an independent educational institution on October 5, 1826, when the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna issued the Dictate on the establishment of 'large workshops for different crafts, with bedrooms, with a dining room and other necessities' by the Moscow Orphanage in the German Quarter and the relocation of all craft pupils from the Orphanage.
