"Nicht-empirisch angelegte Naturvorstellungen wurden zum lediglich schmückenden, theorie-orientierten * Bildungsgut *"." Deals with the fall-out between natural sciences and natural philosophy. I am looking for a slightly negative, illustrative, yet brief, even knackigen, (nominative) way of saying this. To save you a trip: "established part of one's general education" :-(

education package
Does this have the slightly negative connotations you are looking for?

Would that work?
FYI, Langenscheidt translates Bildungsgut as cultural tradtion.
Maybe "part of the cultural tradition" would be another option.
