The name Otto R\u00f6hm is closely associated with the branded product Plexiglas(R). The transparent plastic therefore also plays a central role in the official exhibition marking the 100th birthday of the Hessian entrepreneur. A particular challenge for exhibition builder AMECKO was to condense R\u00f6hm\u2019s life\u2019s work into the smallest possible presentation area. The commemorative exhibition will remain in the main entrance area of Evonik\u2019s Darmstadt site until the end of October, at the former company headquarters of the former R\u00f6hm GmbH. <\/p>\n\n
The project was realized entirely by AMECKO GmbH\u2014from planning and the educational concept through to on-site implementation. Several exhibits trace the development of Plexiglas from its invention in 1933 to the present day. Among other things, the very first existing sample of the material is on display. The exhibits are surrounded by what \u201cmakes up the story,\u201d as Klaus Zittrich, Managing Director of the Oberhausen-based exhibition construction company, adds: \u201cWe produced the rear walls and display cases in the finest workmanship from Plexiglas.\u201d Otto R\u00f6hm further developed his father\u2019s invention and gave the branded product global recognition. R\u00f6hm also restored the chemical company founded by his father to international renown in the post-war years; it has since been absorbed into Evonik Industries AG. <\/p>\n\n
When planning the exhibition project, the spatial conditions demanded particular creativity from AMECKO. \u201cThe area was relatively clearly defined by escape routes and safety requirements and was limited in size,\u201d explains Zittrich. \u201cFor us, this meant that we had to bring together the various stages of Otto R\u00f6hm\u2019s life in the smallest possible space.\u201d Another consequence of its location in the building\u2019s main entrance is the open design, which also facilitates the straightforward reuse of the modular system for future exhibitions elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n
The current presentation also benefits from a deliberate blend of digital animation and historical exhibits provided by Otto R\u00f6hm\u2019s descendants. In addition to the original desk of the industrial leader, the exhibits also include the photo album that R\u00f6hm was given for his 90th birthday, illustrating the company\u2019s entire history. To protect the book from possible damage, the album\u2019s contents are played back digitally so that visitors do not have to leaf through the original. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
