Social Programme

The Meckelsche Sammlungen of the Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg are among the top ten anatomical and pathological collections in Europe. They contain around 8,000 medical and zoological exhibits, including unique and extremely valuable medical-historical specimens dating back to the 18th century. At the heart are the specimens from the Meckel collection of the famous Meckel family of doctors. In 2015, the anatomical teaching and research collection was added to the list of “National wertvolles Kulturgut” (cultural property of national significance).
