Kristalle - Mineralogische Sammlung
In the organizer's words:
The Mineralogical Collection presents important minerals, ores and gemstones from all over the world. It explains their importance for understanding the earth system and for our lives. The following topics are presented in over 40 display cases in rooms behind the Lothar Meyer Building: The diversity of minerals, ores and their deposits, applied mineralogy, fluorescence, mineral properties, gemstones and precious stones, minerals and "mineral water" as well as minerals of everyday life. The beginnings of the collection go back to the time of the Gmelin family of scholars, starting with Johann Georg Gmelin the Elder (1674-1728), and to the natural history cabinet at Hohentübingen Castle in 1802, which was initiated by donations. Rare meteorites - mainly from the collection of the industrialist and naturalist Karl von Reichenbach (1788-1869) - give the collection its great historical value and international reputation.
