Abstract
There is a long tradition of mathematical models building up. Without going back to Archimedes, one can mention the famous Martin Schilling Catalogue which registers and describes about four hundred models in 1911, a few of which still surviving behind the glass cases of some mathematics institutes. One can get a glimpse of them in the beautiful book edited under the direction of Gerd Fischer ([6]).
