Didactics and history of physics
The collection consists of around 100 faithful, functional replicas of devices from the history of physics from the 16th to 20th centuries. They were developed and tested by students in the working group between 1985 and 2009; production took place in the university workshops. They were used for research projects in the history of science and for teaching purposes.
