Wilhelm Ostwald Park

Wilhelm Ostwald Park is a research and museum center in Großbothen that presents the work of the Nobel Prize winner. The site includes exhibition spaces, a scientific library, and guest accommodations for those interested in exploring Ostwald's research in chemistry and color theory.

Chemist Wilhelm Ostwald established this research facility in the early 1900s as a private laboratory and residence. His work in color research and physical chemistry earned him the Nobel Prize in 1909 and made the location an important center of scientific inquiry.

The park reflects Ostwald's color theory through its design and collections, showing how his scientific work connected with artistic interests. Visitors can observe how the chemist applied his theoretical findings to practical applications in daily life and art.

Visitors should plan enough time to explore both the exhibitions and the historic laboratory spaces. It is possible to arrange meals on-site and stay overnight at the park if you wish to spend several days exploring.

The park preserves Ostwald's original color reference files and personal notebooks where he systematically documented his research findings. These handwritten records reveal how a scientist approached daily work, carefully recording each discovery and observation.
