Otto-von-Guericke-Gesellschaft e.V.
The Otto von Guericke Society was founded in 1992 as a continuation of the work of the "Otto von Guericke Circle of Friends" and is concerned with the life and work of Otto von Guericke, their effects and consequences.
We want to comprehensively research, deepen and disseminate knowledge and insights into the life and work of Otto von Guericke as well as their significance and impact.
These goals are to be achieved in particular through:
- the cultivation of Otto von Guericke's legacy in words, pictures, exhibitions, presentations, experiments and other suitable forms;
- scientific research as well as its publication and discussion;
- cooperation with relevant scientific and other institutions, associations and personalities;
- particularly close cooperation with Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, other universities, colleges, schools, scientific institutions and academies as well as associations, especially in the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt and the city of Magdeburg;
- cooperation with the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt and the state capital Magdeburg;
- the organisation of a relevant association life;
- the involvement of the younger generation in our activities and enthusiasm for our work;
- and the shaping of a diverse social life.
