Köthen - Schloss (Museum)
The Schloss in Köthen is in Renaissance style (1547-1608). In the north wing, the Ferdinandsbau (added in 1823 by Gottfried Bandhauer), is the Naumann Museum, named after the zoologist Johann Friedrich Naumann (1780-1857), founder of scientific ornithology in Germany. It is the only ornithological museum of the Biedermeier period to have survived in its original condition.
