As one of the largest natural history museums in Germany, the State Museum of Natural History in Karlsruhe recorded more than 120,000 visitors during the duration of the exhibition "Germany's Mineral Resources" from July 2023 to April 2024. The Carl Bosch Museum's traveling exhibition was thus able to bring knowledge about our domestic mineral resources to a large number of people interested in natural sciences at its second stop.

In addition to the design and comprehensive implementation planning of the traveling exhibition “Germany’s Mineral Resources”, LEISE Design also designed the 150-page exhibition catalog for the Carl Bosch Museum.
It contains around 130 illustrations and infographics, some of which were created specifically for the catalogue to complement the exhibition content. The exhibition catalogue was published in summer 2023 and can be purchased at the Carl Bosch Museum and at the respective stations of the traveling exhibition.
Since 2023, the YU furniture system and the EL product family, designed and developed by Knut Völzke, have been available exclusively in the LEISE online shop and at sales exhibitions held several times a year.
Announcements and reports on the sales exhibitions can be found under the menu item “ News ” in the online shop.
Development and implementation of a model teaching subject
On behalf of and in collaboration with the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt, Knut Völzke has developed a modular subject for grades 8-10 at integrated comprehensive schools.
Starting with form, color and proportion exercises, by the end of the school year the students had become competent designers of functional objects for their immediate living environment.

Documentary film (5:53 min) for the traveling exhibition "Green Clover and Dynamite"
Saltpeter is the main ingredient in gunpowder. In order to obtain this coveted raw material, saltpeter makers travelled from farm to farm in the 17th and 18th centuries with the authority of the local rulers, collecting spent saltpeter and boiling enriched stable soil in a complex process.
LEISE Design has realized a cross-media design project for the traveling exhibition project “Green Clover and Dynamite”.
The work included the design and planning of a travel-friendly exhibition architecture, the conception of interactive exhibits, the development of imagery, layout, key visuals and all information graphic work up to the online presence.
