Overview of the minerals...

Collecting minerals for over 70 years, something comes together.
Shortly after the end of the war, the father started looking for the mineral!!!
We think he found a lot of these now very sought-after and rare minerals.
In this collection you will find minerals that can no longer be found on the market.

Not only the minerals themselves, there is also extensive literature on them.

His passion was the world of fluorites! A very large number of minerals are also from various pits in the Black Forest,
especially from the Clara mine, Wolfach, Black Forrest. As a small child, I was very often with him live on his excursions into these pits!
Nowadays, private collectors can no longer visit these sites or collect them there, that was different back then.
The father himself looked for and found between 80% and 85% of this extensive collection.

Already in 1967 (probably a long time before) the father was a member of the Association of Friends of Mineralogy and Geology (VFMG) e.V.
