As part of the "ndt for DDT" seminar, we were able to take a look at the historical glazing in the display cases at the Bamberg Natural History Museum.

Many thanks to the dedicated team on site!
 

The Professorship for Materials and Preservation Science has once again visited an old acquaintance. More about the object can be found here:

The Professorship for Materials and Preservaion Science held an application week entitled ‘3D Object Capture in Restoration Science’ at the Diocesan Museum in Bamberg. Students had the opportunity to try out various scanning techniques. Many thanks to the museum for hosting us.
 

As part of the application week ‘Practical work on the renovation of half-timbered buildings’, students of the Master’s programme in Heritage Conservation visited the German Half-Timbered House Centre in Quedlinburg. Many thanks to the dedicated director and the entire team for the exciting insight into the practical work involved in half-timbered construction.
 

In May 2025, the Professorship of Materials and Preservaion Science at the KDWT at the University of Bamberg took part in International Museum Day. Methods and procedures were demonstrated at several stations in the Diocesan Museum in Bamberg. Here you can see the multispectral imaging station, where a reduced setup was presented on a painting from the museum. 
 

On 9 April 2025, employees of the KDwt visited the exhibition "1000 years ago | Life at the court of Cunegonde and Henry II" at the Historical Museum in Bamberg.
Many thanks to the museum and the museum guide for the exciting insight into the fantastic exhibition.
 

Sample panel for our light protection project. The panels were developed and produced by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation and can now be found at many locations in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
 

In February 2025, the first joint doctoral colloquium of the Professorship of Preventive Conservation in the Conservation of Historic Buildings and the Professorship of Materials and Preservation Science took place.
Many thanks to our colleagues at the BLfD for allowing us to be guests at Seehof Castle.
 

The on-site measurements as part of the 'Light Protection' research project began in January 2025. Here during the measurement in the Residence in Bamberg.
 

The picture shows part of the output of the glass seminar in the Master's programme in Monument Conservation. Many thanks to the many organisations that supported us in realising this exciting week.
