A terrestrial globe with a diameter of 64 cm with a hand-modeled surface relief, which was once made for the luxury liners of North German Lloyd , has been part of the collection of the Deutsches Museum in Munich since 1925 . Many globes were designed by the Leipzig high school teacher Arthur Krause .
