Abstract
The history of the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe (Staatliches Museum fur Naturkunde Karlsruhe; Fig. 57.1), formerly the County Collections of Natural History (Badische Landessammlungen fur Naturkunde), is tightly linked to the history of the City of Karlsruhe. Margrave Wilhelm von Baden founded Karlsruhe in the year 1715 as a planned, fan-shaped city and started a small natural history collection, which was housed in a small room of the castle. Already in 1760 the “cabinet of curiosities” of margrave Wilhelm had grown into a remarkable scientific collection and continued growing. Soon the collection required more space and was moved into the castle’s drugstore.
