Professor Doctor Arthur Krause had taken over the Räth company, a globe manufacturing company founded in 1917 by Paul Räth (1881-1929), after the death of its founder. The company is still operational today, having survived two world wars and the dissolution of the GDR.

In the 18th century, the official geographer of Louis concave surface of the sky with its constellations) and a terrestrial globe (which instead represents the surface of the Earth with the seas, islands, rivers, cities, etc.) and the techniques for making them: two pressed and shaped papier-mâché hemispheres on or inside a hemispherical mold, dried and strengthened inside with a wooden board, then glued and covered with a thin layer of plaster on which the spindles of the globe of areas between two meridians, generally twelve, were glued in paper previously printed by engraving on copper plate and colored, each covering 30 degrees of longitude.
