Geocaching: "Body"Leibniz's Ge(o)heimnisse" - Leibniz GeoTour

14 geocaches are waiting to be discovered: The GeoTour was developed in Hannover to mark the Leibniz Year 2016—November 2016 marked the 300th anniversary of his death. Follow in the footsteps of this polymath.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is considered one of the last universal geniuses: a temple and a monument were erected in his honor in Hanover—and the university is also named after him. He invented the binary number system, which is used today in nearly every electronic device. Leibniz enjoyed drinking coffee, and fittingly, a cookie was even named after him. His grave is located in the Neustadt Court and church Stadtkirche. His scientific papers are preserved in the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library.
