Excerpt: The GLASMUSEUM WERTHEIM goes back to an initiative of the glass physicist and glass entrepreneur Dr. Hans Löber (1900 - 1978) from Thuringia. Together with a group of Thuringian glass experts who settled in Wertheim after 1945, he founded the "Glaswerk Wertheim" (1950 - 1993, today: Duran Group/DWK Life Sciences) in 1950 and thus laid the foundation for the laboratory glass industry based in Wertheim. In 1973, he joined forces with members of the Wertheim laboratory glass industry and formed the supporting association Wertheimer Glasmuseum e. V. (today: GLASMUSEUM WERTHEIM e. V.).(Submitted on October 10, 2023.)
