50 Years Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry
(1973 – 2023)

50 years ago, there was a lot of construction activity here on campus, as three Max Planck Institutes were merged and a new institute was built. Today’s MPI of Biochemistry was founded and ceremoniously opened on March 23, 1973. We would like to take this as an opportunity to celebrate our 50th anniversary with you.

50 Jahre Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie
(1973 – 2023)

Vor 50 Jahren fanden hier auf dem Campus rege Bautätigkeiten statt, denn drei Max-Planck-Institute wurden zusammengelegt und ein neues Institutsgebäude errichtet. Unser heutiges MPI für Biochemie wurde gegründet und am 23. März 1973 feierlich eröffnet. Dies möchten wir als Anlass nehmen, mit Ihnen dieses Jahr unser 50-jähriges Bestehen zu feiern.
