From 1906 until 2015, the MBK were a commission of the BAdW. In the course of the organizational restructuring in 2015 in accordance with the Academy’s new statutes, the MBK became a project consisting of:

• the project committee which oversees the project
• the advisory board which counsels the committee
• the research team which does the project work.
