The highlight of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg is the Behaim terrestrial globe (Behaim-Globus) in room 102, also known as the Behaim Erdappel. This globe was made in Nuremberg around 1492 by Martin Behaim and Georg Glockendon the Elder and is the oldest surviving depiction of the world in global form. With the Americas (and Australia) still unknown in Europe, the Behaim globe used the world’s circumference according to the Greek Ptolemalos estimate of 29,000 km rather than the real 40,000 km at the equator. In 2023, Erdapfel was admitted to UNESCO’s Memory of the World.
