Echt clever! Geniale Erfindungen aus Thüringen

German

Inventions are perfect when they so permeate our lives that they are literally commonplace and already so taken for granted that we no longer even know where they came from. And Thuringia really does have
quite a lot of that to offer. Many a technical achievement originated here, such as the "modern" type of toothbrush (since 1700!), the Christmas tree ball and FM reception. Not to forget the optical devices of Carl Zeiss and Schott from Jena, the Bauhaus in Weimar or the skat game. And what about the idea for the famous New Year's Eve sketch "Dinner for one" or the garden gnome? Even the earliest fashion and home magazine went to press in Thuringia in 1776 and the modern insurance company was born here in 1821 (Gothaer Versicherung). Let this book take you on a journey into the exciting world of Thuringian inventions!
