Abstract: | The objective of this work is the restoration and consolidation of a small gramophone from the Nirona-Werke Beierfeld, Saxony, from the 1920s. The exact circumstances of its entry into the Technikmuseum Berlin are unfortunately unknown, as is information on previous owners. Nevertheless, the gramophone can be assigned to the late 1920s. First, a cultural and historical classification is made, focusing on the history of the origins of the gramophone, the zeitgeist of the 1920s and an overview of the Nirona works. This is followed by a scientific examination, which leads into a discussion of how to deal with everyday objects of industrial culture and discusses the appropriate cleaning method. Finally, there is an outlook on the still outstanding conservation and assembly. |
