This story is of particular interest…

The only place in Greece that has fallen meteorite

So there is a place in our country where there is the only confirmed meteorite fall many years ago. It is called SERRES and the discovery took place in 1818. And the meteorite may have fallen in Greece, but today it is on exhibit at the NhM Naturhistorisches Museum Wien in Vienna.

The meteorite fell in Serres in 1818 and was noticed by two Germans who were nearby. They were the ones who handed it over, in fact, to the Ottoman commander of the region. However, the commander did not evaluate it as something important, so it was passed on as a gift to his German doctor.

After it had changed hands to the chemistry professor Andrea Scherer, the meteorite was finally donated in 1844 to the Vienna Museum of Natural History. It is finally the only meteorite that has been found so far on Greek soil. If you look at the International Meteorite Bulletin of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, you will find that it is officially mentioned as a meteorite of Greek origin.
