Guided tour of the SIM’s acoustic studios to mark the 100th anniversary of Hans-Peter Reinecke’s birth
As a musicologist, psychologist, and experimental physicist, Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Reinecke (1926–2003) devoted his work to, among other things, room and building acoustics, the transmission of music through media, and music perception.

The tour led by Hans-Joachim Maempel takes place in Department III of the State Institute for Music Research, which Reinecke founded in 1965 and headed until his retirement. In 1967, he was appointed director of the entire institute.
Visitors can see the acoustics and studio rooms that Reinecke designed and for whose construction he was responsible as a design engineer until their completion in 1984. Reinecke’s fundamental question regarding how the perception of music changes through its acoustic and electroacoustic transmission has become increasingly relevant in the course of media development, has continued to evolve, and remains highly topical today.
PD Dr. Hans-Joachim Maempel has headed Department III (Acoustics and Music Technology, Studio Technology, and IT) at the State Institute for Music Research since 2012.
Following the tour, there will be an opportunity to attend the free concert “Curiosity as a Compass: An Interdisciplinary Life’s Work” in honor of Reinecke at 6:00 p.m. at St. Matthäus Church, Kulturforum Berlin, Matthäikirchplatz.
