The task of this collection is to preserve the abundant material and personal records in the
interdisciplinary field of colour theory in science, education, culture and the arts in Central
Germany, and to bring it together for teaching and research purposes. In addition to devices for
producing, measuring and referencing colour as an element in appearance and design (optical
devices, measuring instruments and colour standards, collections, cards and catalogues,
models, organs and means of design), the collection also includes various teaching aids,
student and artistic studies as well as writings and documents. The collection has been under
development since 2005 and is currently being digitized. The original holdings of Eckhard
Bendin's estate have been expanded in the past several years by acquisitions from the Institute
of Applied Photo-Physics, the Federal Institute for Materials Research and the German Society
of Colour Science and Application, as well as by the bequests of the estates of Baumann, Prase
and Ostwald's successors (Adam, Zeugner, Streller, Rausendorf). The most recent acquisition
is the collection of Harald Küppers, a pioneer in the development of colour theory for use in
printing and digital media.
