To mark the 200th anniversary of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), its history is being told through 100 selected objects. Proposals from the entire institute were submitted in response to a “Call for Objects.” The curators Klaus Nippert and Andrea Stengel provide historical classifications of the objects with regard to their role in research, teaching, and development. The catalogue shows numerous new images of the objects, photographed by Jonas Zilius and Amadeus Bramsiepe, and mediates between their current appearance and the historical perspectives raised. In the design, Christoph Engel interweaves text and image in a special form that invites you to take a visual stroll.
Klaus Nippert studied history and philology, and has a doctorate in early modernism. In 2002, he became head of the University Archive Karlsruhe, since 2009 the KIT Archive. He has published in the fields of archival, historical, and literary studies.
