Chemistry
The first chemical studies in Heidelberg took place as early as 1784, when Georg Adolf Suckow (1751-1813), Professor of Mathematics, Natural History, Chemistry and Botany, was put in charge of the natural history collections of the "Hohe Kameralschule", which had been transferred from Kaiserslautern to Heidelberg.

Earth Sciences
When the “Hohe Kameralschule” moved from Kaiserslautern, also an extensive collection of minerals came to Heidelberg, which established the beginnings of earth sciences in Heidelberg.
