The Leopoldina was founded in the city of Schweinfurt on January 1, 1652 by four physicians, namely Johann Laurentius Bausch, first president of the society, Johann Michael Fehr, Georg Balthasar Metzger, and Georg Balthasar Wohlfarth, under the name Academia Naturae Curiosorum.
In 1991, after German reunification, the Leopoldina was given legal nonprofit status and is now funded jointly by the German federal and Saxony state governments.

 Leopoldina lives on
Leopoldina’s engagement to a prince of Saxony was promptly broken off and the Portuguese prince instated in his place.
Added to Leopoldina’s varied and brilliant retinue (which included stewards, chamberlains, assorted aristocrats, guardsmen, a grand almoner, a chaplain, a doctor and four philologically expert ladies-in-waiting), there was a librarian, a zoologist, an imperial hunter, a royal gardener, an entomologist, a mineralogist, a working miner, three drawing teachers and several artists specialising in drawing plants.
Leopoldina’s marriage brought her not only happiness, but trade and culture to Brazil, raising the intellectual and cultural tone of the court, and giving it a much needed touch of refinement.

 Main Lines of Brazil
The Leopoldina Railway Company inherited a system so complicated that it would be wearisome to describe in detail, and so variegated in rolling stock and design, that the unification of all the little lines into a complete system of a uniform gauge has been a triumph of organization.
The oldest of the lines incorporated in the Leopoldina Railways is that from Maua, on the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, to the foot of the precipitous Petropolis Serra, a distance of ten miles.
The Leopoldina Railway possesses about 300 steam locomotives, and the bulk of the traffic is hauled by three types, the " Mogul" (2-6-0), the "Consolidation" (2-8-0) and the "Pacific" (4-6-2), the "Pacific" being used on all heavy main line passenger work.
