Date: Saturday, 26 April 2025, 11 a.m.
Number of participants: 25
Fee: 12 EUR/person
Meeting point: Entrance Schloss Oberschleißheim
Ever heard of Schloss Schleißheim? The palace complex, a historical gem, was founded by the illustrious Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria, who graced this earth from 1548 to 1626. His vision and legacy are etched in the very stones of this complex. Between 1598 and 1600, Wilhelm oversaw the construction of a farm and a manor house within the complex, surrounded by small hermitages and forest chapels. The Duke's foresight expanded the economic use of the area, establishing a stud farm that supplied the princely stables. Only later did this humble beginning transform into the magnificent country estate that stands today, a testament to the grandeur of the past.

The sun on the beach, the scanner at the supermarket checkout, or the signal in a fiber cable: when light hits matter - or matter hits light - exciting things happen! The new exhibition, Light and Matter in the Deutsches Museum, presents the basics of quantum optics and shows how the understanding of light and matter has changed in the last century. These new findings are a prerequisite for quantum science and quantum technologies, which are being intensively researched today.
