## Description

* * *

Objects and documents from the university archives, the university library, and the university museum offer a glimpse into 500 years of university history. These include insignia—such as the founding charter and the scepters—as well as other documents from the founding era and subsequent centuries, covering topics ranging from women’s education to the Nazi period. The Nobel Prize certificate awarded to Emil von Behring is also on display.
