The newly opened alchemical laboratories were discovered during the reconstruction of one of the oldest historical buildings in Prague on the street Haštalská number 1. This building is listed by UNESCO and by miracle this one has been preserved after the demolition of the Jewish quarter at the end of 19th century.

'An insight into the true nature of the principles of alchemy and the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus (also known as Thoth, Mercury, or Hermes in different cultures). This was part of the wisdom of the mystery schools of ancient times. Alchemy is not all about transforming things into gold, but more of a understanding of the true nature of things and how to manipulate their energies.'

A celebration took place in March at the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. There, a 1687 gold coin, only one single specimen of which is known to exist, was the center of attention. The off-metal strike in gold of the Alchemistentaler of Frederick I of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg from 1687 was officially returned to representatives of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar by Ulrich Künker, Executive Director of the Osnabrück-based auction house Künker.
