Guided tour by Dr. Klaus Cußler, Georg-Speyer-Haus
The two listed historic rooms in today's Georg-Speyer-Haus at Paul-Ehrlich-Straße 42–44 will be presented:
- The historic laboratory (Salvarsan Laboratory) a chemical laboratory dating from 1906, which has largely been preserved with its original furnishings. This is where Paul Ehrlich and his colleagues carried out their work on the development and testing of Salvarsan preparations. The preparation “606” (“Salvarsan”) was the world's first effective chemotherapeutic agent used to treat syphilis.
- The Paul Ehrlich Memorial Room, which was established in 1924 in memory of the physician and Nobel Prize winner.
