Abstract
The “Zoologisches Cabinet” of the University of Heidelberg was founded in 1819 by Friedrich Tiedemann. In its modern outfit, it was presented to the general public in the 1970’s. Since 1979/1980, Sunday lectures in each winter semester have attracted thousands of interested people. The museum was closed less than a decade before its 200th anniversary. The Sunday lectures still attract 400 and more visitors each winter Sunday.
