Celebrating 200 Years of Rudolph Clausius
It was Rudolf Clausius, a professor at the University of Bonn, who in the mid-1800s coined the term entropy, formulated the second law of thermodynamics, and laid the foundations of modern Physical and Theoretical Chemistry - a true transdisciplinary scientist and visionary thinker who cautioned us more than 130 years ago to utilize nature's resources in a sustainable fashion. This year we have commemorated his 200th birthday with a series of academic events.

Arrival by car
The main access road is from the east is the A 3 (Cologne - Frankfurt(Main)). Across the A 560 and the A 59 ("air port highway") you reach Bonn.
From the west (Belgium, Netherlands and the area around Aachen) the A 4 and the A 555 are leading to Bonn. Bonn is surrounded by a highway ring providing a fast inner-city access.
Arrival by train
Bonn can easily by reached by train.
Bonn main station is connected to the ICE/IC/EC-net.
The regular stop Siegburg of the ICE route Frankfurt-Cologne can be reached by city railway line 66.
The footpath from the station to the institute is shown on the map.
