[The Leopoldina--a terra incognita in German academic historiography. Johann Laurentius Bausch on his 400th birthday].
This paper deals with the stupendous and strange fact, that up to now the general history was not been noticing the oldest European Academy of Sciences, the Academia Naturae Curiosorum, which was founded in 1652 and has been continuously active since their establishment. In the most cases the Leopoldina is not named at all, but if the Academy is mentioned--mostly in short--it will be entirely misjudged in its nature, its essence and its importance.
