The purpose of the Ehrenfried Walther
von Tschirnhaus­Gesellschaft e. V. (Ehrenfried
Walther von Tschirnhaus Society)
is to preserve the legacy of the Saxon
scholar Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus
(1651 – 1708) and to increase public
awareness of the history of science in the
early period of the Age of Enlightenment.
It is also a society of friends and sponsors
of the Mathematisch­Physikalischer Salon
because it is there that the most important
surviving works created by Tschirnhaus
are preserved (including a burning
mirror and a double burning lens apparatus).
The Society promotes the activities
of the museum and contributes financially
to the expansion of the collection.

Building upon the traditional relationship
between the Numismatischer Verein zu
Dresden e.V. and the Münzkabinett, a new
cooperation contract was signed in 2010.
The joint programme of lectures, featuring
talks on a wide range of themes relating
to numismatics and monetary history
given by renowned scholars from both
Germany and abroad, was continued. The
Society supported the opening of the special
exhibition organised by the Münzkabinett
entitled “Schätze aus Sachsens Erde”
(Treasures from the Soil of Saxony) in the
Residenzschloss. An important activity
was the joint publication of the journal
Dresdner Numismatische Hefte issue 6,
which focused on coin finds from Bohemia
and Saxony. The Journal has now developed
into a highly respected specialist
periodical. In future, publicity and publications
are to be directed towards an even
broader community of interest.

… and guided tours through the storerooms
Since the exhibition of the Puppentheatersammlung
was closed for ten months
owing to building work in the Jägerhof,
the activities of the “Freunde der Puppentheatersammlung
Dresden e.V.”
(Friends of the Dresden Puppentheatersammlung)
focused mainly on the Garnisonkirche.
Three talks were held in the
tower there, and five puppet theatre performances
were conducted. Over the past
few years, the number of participants has
developed in a very positive way. On 11
September, 2010, during the Albertstadt
Open Day, there were as many as 1,500
visitors, most of whom took part in a
short guided tour of the storerooms. Mr
Arnold Böswetter (real name: Wolfgang
Lasch, Potsdam) enjoyed a particularly enthusiastic
response to his information and
his struggles with the cussedness of the
inanimate.
