This collection of approximately 800 specimens of fossil plants was assembled over many years
by the palaeobotanist Harald Walther for his lectures. In addition to his own procurements,
especially from lignite opencast mining areas in eastern Germany, donations by colleagues
and private collectors contributed to a virtually complete documentation of the fossil record of
plant evolution based on selected pieces.
