However, there are also about 1,000 objects preserved in alcohol or formalin. This sub-collection has its roots in the Carpological Collection of the Hamburg City Physician Heinrich Wilhelm Buek, who bequeathed it to the City of Hamburg in his last will in 1879. It formed the basis for the Hamburg Botanical Museum founded in 1883.
