In 1977, Gunther von Hagens invented plastination at the Institute of Pathology and Anatomy of the University of Heidelberg, one of the top-ranking locations in the world of international science and scholarship.
Germany's oldest seat of higher learning is located in Southwestern Germany in a delightful landscape along the Neckar River. The beautiful townscape dominated by the mighty ruins of the world-famous Castle draws millions of tourists each year. Today, Heidelberg is a modern scientific and economic location with an international reputation and a most lively and varied cultural scene.

Guben 

With more than 765 years of history, Guben is located in the eastern part of Germany next to the Polish border. Once an industry town internationally renowned for its cloth and hat industry, Guben lost economic importance and habitants after the reunification.
Today, Guben has become the center of plastination technology. The recently established PLASTINARIUM is the result of Gunther von Hagens' tireless efforts for more than 30 years in the areas of medical science and museum culture. With state of the art technology, skeletal and sheet plastinates, arterial cast specimens, and large plastinates are created for the education of doctors and medically people. Visitors can experience first hand every step of the plastination process, from the anatomical preparation to the final specimen.
