A visit to the Philipp-Reis-Museum in Friedrichsdorf
2025-04-06 11:30 - 18:00 | Philipp-Reis-Haus, Hugenottenstraße 93, Friedrichsdorf, 61381
Dear Pickwicks,
As mentioned, I’m offering you now a more reliable event: a visit to the Philipp-Reis-Museum in Friedrichsdorf, completed with a meal in a cafeteria nearby.
Philipp Reis is a very important personality of German and international culture. He died quite young , lived 1834–1874 and was a self-taught German scientist and inventor. In 1861, he constructed the first telephone , today called the Reis Telephone. It was the first device to transmit a voice via electronic signals and for that the first modern telephone.
I’ve booked a visit to the house he was born in, which is in Friedrichsdorf, and we’ll get a guided tour of it on April 6th at 13:00. There we’ll learn more about his life and his commitment, his inventions and his merits for the new technics and humanity.
After the tour, which takes some 1.5 hours, we’ll pop in a cafeteria nearby and enjoy a nice snack there.
S5 brings us directly to Friedrichsdorf, so we’ll meet up at Frankfurt Main station at 11:45, downstairs, on the platform direction Friedrichsdorf.
The visit costs €35 for our group and is limited to 15 people, as the house isn’t very large. Please let me know if you wish to join, up to Wednesday 02nd. (I’ve been intentionally avoiding April 1st!!!!)
Best regards,
Valeria
