Excerpt:
Justus Liebig, whose name was given to the Giessen university after the second world war, taught here from 1824 to 1852 as professor of chemistry. In the rooms of his former institute a museum was opened in 1920. It is one of the six most important chemistry museums in the world*) and a historical of highest value, because it is here where the most important german chemist laid the experimental foundations for his influential innovations.
