"The festschrift for the 150th anniversary of the Tübingen Institute contains a foreword by the editors and 16 papers in three chapters, one on the period before Adolf Theodor Friedrich Michaelis [1865-1872], who initiated the shift from ancient texts to material sources, one until Ulrich Hausmann [1960-1983], and one on oral history reports of the past decades. The first chapter comprises two papers dealing with the emergence of classical archaeology as a university subject [Graepler] and the history of the collection of casts and antiques at Tübingen [Baas]. The second chapter deals with the merits of scholars at Tübingen from Adolf Michaelis [Schäfer], Ludwig Schwabe [Krmnicek], Ferdinand Noack [Krüger / Lipps; Lang], Carl Watzinger [Posamentir; Freyberger], Bernhard Schweitzer [Fittschen; Flecker], Otto Wilhem von Vacano [Flecker], and Ulrich Hausmann [Klöckner; Baas] to Gerhard Neumann [Klöckner], followed by a contribution on numismatic research conducted by Dietrich Mannsperger [von Kaenel]. The three oral history reports deal with Werner Gauer [1983-2002] [Heilmeyer; Prayon] and the Institute of Classical Archaeology at Tübingen between 2003 and 2015 [Schäfer]"--Publisher's website.
