The soil beneath our feet is alive!

For a long time, the living creatures in soil were literally a hidden chapter of biology. Even today, many people are not fully aware of their importance. For most of us, soil is simply the ground on which we stand. However, soil actually means much more. Unsealed soil is essential for life and - like clean water and oxygen-rich air - an indispensable resource.
The exhibition shows the biodiversity and coexistence of organisms in soil. It also addresses soil development, soil diversity, soil research and the destruction of fertile soils.
