The approximately 1,600 objects in this collection are mainly from the inventories of the institu-
tions that preceded the University Hospital and the Dresden Faculty of Medicine, i.e. the Dres-
den-Johannstadt Hospital and the Dresden Surgical-Medical Academy. They also come from
the Institute for the History of Medicine at Ruhr University Bochum, acquisitions of antiqua-
rian objects, as well as from private collections or the estates of doctors in Central Germany.
The oldest exhibits, such as enemas and phlebotomy devices, can be traced back to approxi-
mately 1800. Another collection comprises instruments and equipment from the second half
of the 19th century, including microscopes, induction coils, hearing aids, surgical instruments
and a dental drill. The majority of the objects dates back to the period after 1900. The collec-
tion is frequently used in university student education and medical training in order to illust-
rate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic methods in medicine. The main part of
the collection can be visited in the basement of building 105 at the University Hospital.
