The mathematical institute in Leipzig, at one of the world’s oldest universities, has excellent traditions. Among other notable mathematicians, Felix Klein taught here between 1880-1886 and also founded the famous mathematical collection. The newest addition to the collection is Gömböc 1409, carrying the year of foundation of the University. The mathematical institute put Gömböc 1409 on exhibit in the foyer of the Felix Klein Auditorium, located in the University’s brand-new building, the Paulinum. The picture shows professor László Székelyhidi adding Gömböc to the collection.
The production of Gömböc 1409 was sponsored by Mr Ottó Albrecht.
