We have developed a prototype (PROTO16) for the backward end-cap (BWEC) of the PANDA electromagnetic calorimeter. The aim has been to test as much as possible the final details concerning crystal read out and insulation system of the BWEC. This ranges from equipping the scintillator material lead tungstate (PWO) with large area avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and ASIC-Preamplifiers (APFEL) of the last generation to the insulating material of Vacuum-Insulation-Panels (VIP) and Aerogel up to a fully executable slow control- and data acquisition system. Moreover innovative methods for subsystems like the high precision calibration system for thermal sensors have been realized reaching a new level of accuracy. Due to the high light yield variation of PWO with temperature this is an important ingredient to reach the required good energy resolution. As a result, it is possible to monitor relative and absolute temperature differences in the prototype with a precision of 0.1 °C. The prototype has been tested at the tagged photon beam of the MAMI electron accelerator in Mainz in July 2014. Design concept, realization and test results will be presented.
