171 Collections of the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Collection The teaching Collection currently consists of about 200 appliances and more than 1,000 chemical substances. It brings together the scientific collections of important researchers from chemical institutes. The origins of the Institute and therefore the oldest items in the Collection can be traced back to Walther Hempel, Professor of Inorganic and Technical Chemistry at the Chemistry Department from 1893 to 1912. Today, special devices such as Hempel’s gas burette and the water engine from 1878 are considered valuable material witnesses of the Institute’s Collection. In addition, the chemistry collections have been enriched by experimental setups and devices of chemists Fritz Foerster, Arthur Simon and Kurt Schwabe.

It houses more than 1,500 natural dyes from plant and animal sources and over 20,000 trade samples of synthetic dyes from more than 80 producers, arranged according to their chemical structures. Additionally, it contains more than 3,000 color sample charts and numerous staining patterns. The oldest color samples date back to around 1830, while other samples stem from the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. The Collection also contains an original sample of Mauveine, the first viable coal tar dye produced by W. Perkin in 1856. The Institute’s scientific activities can be traced by means of students’ final theses, which have been collected since 1890, along with the preparations that were made for them. To this day, the Collection is housed in the rooms it moved into in 1926, next to the chemical dyes laboratory and the historical auditorium.

There are, for example, viscometers and pycnometers, some of which were constructed at the Institute. Several display cabinets showing food processing and packaging technology are also maintained. The Collection also contains some 250 preparations consisting of plant extracts, resins, fiber materials and salts.
