Followed by the Learning and Teaching workshop that is divided into five stations. These stations are equipped with real plastinates and specific training aids depending on the subject. They grant the visitor detailed knowledge of the movement apparatus, heart circulation system, digestive tract, nervous system and the urogenital system. New highlight: The walk ends with the visit of the show space and salesroom.

Event: Monday till Friday at least twice a day, Saturday and Sunday with registration
Duration: about 2 hours, 15-20 participants

2. Tour of the company facilities

Classes

To support a high-quality education, plastination and dissection classes supervised by MD Gunther von Hagens will be offered regularly: 

In the plastination course the participants learn the preservation technology of the plastination in a workshop of several days. Besides, they learn, supervised by experienced employees, various plastination steps in a newly built learning area.

In the dissection course the participant acquires theoretical knowledge about the anatomy and applies it for deepening in practice. The course gives an overview about the basic structures of the body. The anatomical structures learnt in the theory are practiced in the practical part of the course.

Use as a training and conference center

The rooms available for rent are seminar rooms (up to 30 people), the learning workshop and the dissection hall. Teaching and learning materials such as plastinates, specific books, models, poster boards and modern media (internet connection, video projector, whiteboards, etc.) are made available.
