The Naturhistorische Museum - Natural History Museum - was set up again after the devastating fire of 1865 by the Admont Benedictine Father Gabriel Strobl in the years 1866 to 1910. In his scientific activity Father Gabriel Strobl built up a huge insect collection with roughly 252,000 specimens, with the collection of about 80,000 flies being one of the three most important in Europe. Through his own collecting, exchange, buying and in the form of gifts Father Gabriel Strobl acquired over 44 years the collection that can be admired in the partly newly planned Natural History Museum. A glass-case ribbon stretches for about 24 metres and shows in texts, pictures and exhibits the historical development of the Natural History Museum. The first side room is dedicated to Father Gabriel Strobl’s life work. His scientific and artistic work is described in a large table glass-case, while an exhibition of various insect groups can be seen on the walls. The second side room presents all 243 examples of the wax fruits made by Father Constantin Keller (1778-1864) in an impressive installation. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]

Der vorliegende Briefwechsel zwischen Alexander von Humboldt und Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, bestehend aus ca. 300 Briefen, die Mehrzahl davon von Humboldts Hand, ist ein wichtiger Mosaikstein zum Bild der Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ehrenberg, in seiner Zeit ein berühmter und gefeierter Mikropaläontologe, war ein geschätzter Kollege Humboldts, nicht nur in seiner Funktion als Sekretar der mathematisch-physikalischen Klasse der Königlich-Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, auch als Mikrobiologe, der in damals noch kaum bekannten Bereichen forschte. Mit der vorliegenden elektronischen Edition wurde dem oft geäußerten Wunsch entsprochen, den bedeutenden Briefwechsel Alexander von Humboldts der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Mehrere Bände sind von der Alexander-von-Humboldt-Forschungsstelle in den vergangenen Jahren im Verlag der Akademie herausgegeben worden. Die Veröffentlichung der Korrespondenz mit dem Berliner Mikrobiologen Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795 – 1876) führt weiter auf dem Forschungsfeld der noch kaum erschlossenen Kontakte Humboldts mit Biologen. ...

October 16, 2008 marks the 300th anniversary of Albrecht von Haller’s birth. Haller, a true polymath, is one of the most noteworthy indiviuals of the era of Enlightenment. His prominent efforts, as the founder of experimental physiology, researcher of Swiss flora and alpine poet were groundbreaking in the fields of medicine, botany and literature. During his tenure in Göttingen he set up the botanical garden and moulded the newly established university as a modern research institution. As magistrate for Bern he kept his region safe from the cattle plague that raged throughout Europe, and he developed energy-saving techniques for the extraction of salt. As a polymath and careful observer of his time he advanced his opinions on practically every domain of science and facet of human existence. As a great communicator he exchanged thousands of letters with people throughout Europe. His life and work reflect on a time of great change that still affects us today. The Albrecht von Haller Foundation of the Burgergemeinde Bern launches in collaboration with the University of Bern and other partners a series of events in 2008/09 which present Haller as a paradigmatic figure between Ancien Régime and modern science. ...

Carl Linnaeus was born nearly 300 years ago in a small village in Småland, Råshult. Celebrations of the tercentenary are currently being prepared throughout Sweden and in many places abroad. The Linnaeus Tercentenary will offer many exciting events - from scientific conferences to lectures for the general public, exhibitions, Linnaeus rambles in the countryside, and guided tours of the Linnaeus Sites in Småland and Uppland. The Linnaeus Tercentenary has two clear goals. The first goal is to increase interest for science among children and young people; the second goal is to present a full-faceted image of Carl Linnaeus for the general public. The tercentenary is centred on the concepts of Creativity - Curiosity - Science. These principles form the basis for all events and they have set their stamp on the preparations.
