The "Initiativkreis Albert-Einstein-Haus" was founded by 5 Caputh residents in
1999. At that stage, the Einstein House was in extremely bad repair, and there
seemed to be no end in sight in the complex process of restitution of the
property. The public was made aware of the situation by means of various events
such as exhibitions and presentations until finally, in 2005, the house was
renovated during the "Einsteinjahr" (the Einstein year).
In 2006 the "Initiativkreis" was registered as an independent association with
the goal of bringing interested people and institutions together to preserve the
intellectual heritage of Albert Einstein and Konrad Wachsmann and to raise
awareness for the history of the Einstein House in Caputh.
The exhibition in Caputh is designed as an information centre with themes of
scientific, architectural and historical interest through presentations, events
and publications.
Honorary patron of the exhibition:
founding director of the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam
Honorary chairman of the "Initiativkreis":
Max-Planck-Institute for gravitational physics / Albert-Einstein-Institute Potsdam-Golm
