— Dresden — 



Mathematisch-physikalischer Salon: 



Collection kept in the NW angle of the Zwinger. Its nucleus was a part of the 

 Kunstkammer of Augustus I, elector of Saxony (1553-86); it was gradually in- 

 creased by his successors. It includes mathematical, surveying, astronomical, physi- 

 cal, meteorological, surgical, instruments, geographical and astronomical globes; 

 tools used by Augustus I. It is especially valuable because of the relatively large 

 number of early instruments. 



Some of the early objects have been alienated, e.g., the giant wire-drawing bench 

 made in 1565 for the elector Augustus is now in the Cluny Museum, Paris (F. M. 

 Feldhaus: Die Technik, 203, 1914). 



Adolf Drechsler: Katalog der Sammlung des Konigl. mathematisch-physikali- 

 schen Salons (68 p., Dresden 1874). 



There was another collection in Dresden, the Modell-Kammer created in 1691 by 

 Georg IV, elector of Saxony, to include models of all kinds of machines, bridges, etc. 

 A ms. inventory of it dating from 1827 exists in the Mathem-phys. Salon. Parts of 

 the collection were auctioned off and dispersed in 1829, and following years.

— Frankfurt am Main — 



1943: Institut fiir Geschichte der Natvirwissenschaften (Institut des physikalischen 

 Vereins Frankfurt a. M. Director: Prof. Dr. Willy Hartner): 

 The address at the time of writing (June 1949) is Feldbergstr. 47, but the In- 

 stitute will probably be moved to the third floor of the reconstructed Senckenberg 

 Library, adjoining the main building of the University this year (1949). 



The Institut was founded in 1943 by the City of Frankfurt, independently of the 

 university. It was located on Robert Mayerstr. 2-4, but was destroyed by air raid 

 in May 18-22, 1944. The major part of the library was saved, and later the library 

 and archives of the late Paul Diergart of Bonn were acquired; it is hoped to obtain 

 the chemical library of the late Gunther Bugge (Isis 15, 298). 

 The purpose of the Institute is teaching and research. 

 Librarian: Dr. Hertha von Deehend; secretary, Ruth Martin. 



Institut fiir Geschichte der Medizin: 



Director, Prof. Walter Artelt. The institute will probably be located before 

 the end of 1949 on the third floor of the reconstructed Senckenberg Library. 



The Deutsche Gesellschaft fiir Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, der Medizin 

 und der Technik, recently refounded, will probably have an oflBce on the same floor.
