description In the attic of the botanical institute of the Georg-August University of Göttingen, a pharmacognostic collection was stored for over sixty years, packed in about 50 boxes: a document of a discipline that was represented by the institute until 1938. The collection comprises about 8,000 samples and objects from of materia medica from the 19th and early 20th centuries; it is thus one of the few university collections to have been preserved in almost its entirety - a comparison with contemporary textbooks and pharmacopoeias shows that almost all common drugs are included in numerous variants. The preserved collection samples show that it is not only a scientific reference collection to this day, but that the collection has at the same time taken on important functions in research and teaching including education. Parallel to the cataloguing, the history of the collection was reconstructed in rudimentary form, and natural and cultural studies were carried out on some of the holdings. cultural studies were carried out on some of the holdings. In the process, it became increasingly clear that the potential of the collection as a source material and basis for a large number of studies in the history of science and the natural sciences is considerable; by presenting the collection and its history, we hope to stimulate such studies. Prof. Dr. Volker Wissemann is Professor of Special Botany at the Justus Liebig University of Giessen, Director of the Institute of Botany incl. the Herbarium, Condirector of the Hermann Hoffmann Academy and Scientific Director of the Giessen Botanical Garden. He is a member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Göttingen and alumnus of the Georgia Augusta. Prof. Dr. Kärin Nickelsen is professor of the history of science at the Department of History at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina) and an alumna of the Georgia Augusta. (translated with DeepL)

(translated with DeepL) Auf dem Dachboden des botanischen Instituts der Georg-August Universität Göttingen lagerte über sechzig Jahre, in ca. 50 Kisten verpackt, eine pharmakognostische Sammlung: Dokument einer Fachrichtung, die bis 1938 vom Institut vertreten wurde. Die Sammlung umfasst etwa 8.000 Proben und Objekte aus allen Bereichen der Materia Medica des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts; sie gehört damit zu den wenigen Universitätssammlungen, die in nahezu vollem Umfang erhalten blieben – ein Vergleich mit zeitgenössischen Lehrbüchern und Pharmakopöen zeigt, dass nahezu alle gängigen Drogen in zahlreichen Varianten enthalten sind. Die erhaltenen Sammlungsmuster zeigen, dass es sich nicht nur um eine bis heute wissenschaftliche Referenzsammlung handelt, sondern dass die Sammlung zugleich wichtige Funktionen in Forschung und Lehre inclusive Ausbildung übernommen hat. Parallel zu der Katalogisierung wurde die Geschichte der Sammlung in Ansätzen rekonstruiert, und zu Teilbeständen wurden natur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Studien durchgeführt. Dabei wurde zunehmend deutlich, dass das Potential der Sammlung als Quellenbestand und Grundlage für eine Vielzahl wissenschaftshistorischer und naturwissenschaftlicher Studien erheblich ist; durch die Präsentation des Bestandes und seiner Geschichte hoffen wir, zu solchen Studien anzuregen.
