One of the first biochemistry laboratories in the world opens its doors to visitors as a museum. This is where the first German biochemist, Carl Sigwart, worked from 1818, where Felix Hoppe-Seyler, who named haemoglobin, had the first biochemical laboratory built and where Friedrich Miescher discovered the basic material for the hereditary substances DNA and RNA in 1869. At the centre of the presentation is Friedrich Miescher's test tube with nucleic acid, which still exists.
The available historical components of the biochemical laboratory are now presented as objects or pictures in the castle laboratory. The interactive exhibition in German and English conveys the significance of the site and illustrates the history of biochemistry up to the present day.
