Dinner at Harnack-Haus
The Harnack House is located in the center of the German Oxford in Berlin-Dahlem, which is characterized by excellent scientific institutions. It was built in 1929 to provide guest accommodation and a conference venue for the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, the Max Planck Society’s predecessor organization. It established itself in the 1930s as a club for international science and as a social venue in the German capital. Scientists from all over the world, artists, politicians and captains of industry stayed here or came to attend events. Since 2000 the house is conference venue of the Max Planck Society.
