Umberto Eco
This thought-provoking impulse from Umberto Eco is an important part of our self-image. We are characterised by gratitude and joy for the people we have been able to work with and what we have been able to create and solve together.
We are also characterised by personalities that we have not had the opportunity to get to know. But who we have met at one point or another in our lives in very different ways. Extraordinary personalities whose lives and work have had a strong influence. People who make a difference and give rise to something. We present a few of them to you here in this gallery to honour their memory and to stimulate a broader public debate about their thoughts, views and important food for thought.

In order to generate the necessary lift forces, the bumblebee has to work with relatively high wing beat frequencies of up to 200 beats per second.
On average, three times as many as a hummingbird.

The Arctic tern is the record holder in long-distance flying: it flies the furthest of all migratory birds. The bird breeds in the Arctic and then flies to the Antarctic to spend the winter there. The Arctic tern covers between 30,000 and 50,000 kilometres there and back.
This corresponds to the circumference of the earth.

» Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. «

Butterflies have existed on earth for an estimated 135 million years. The approximately 160,000 known butterfly species can be found almost everywhere in the world. There is almost no country without butterflies. There are even butterflies in the freezing Arctic.
The monarch butterfly is a long-distance flyer that covers more than 3000 kilometres every year. The butterflies, which are only a few centimetres in size, fly from Canada to Central America.
If you want to protect butterflies, you have to think about food plants for caterpillars and butterflies. Many butterflies visually threaten potential predators with eye-like structures on their wings. Others are so well camouflaged that they are barely noticeable. The butterfly brings us light-heartedness and joy. It wants to convey to us the lightness of being. It helps us to overcome stagnation, gives us hope and awakens our desire for something new.
The mathematician and meteorologist Edward N. Lorenz coined the term 'butterfly effect' to describe the sensitivity to initial conditions in dynamic systems.
