history
The German Society for Gynecology was founded on September 16, 1885 on the occasion of the 58th meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors in Strasbourg . The initiative went back to Wilhelm Alexander Freund , who was full professor for gynecology in Strasbourg at the time.
- Initiators of the foundation of the DGG
For many years the formation of this new medical society had been debated. Carl Credé had already tried in 1877 to convert the gynecological section of the Naturalists' Assembly, founded in 1822, into such a society, but failed with his project at the 50th meeting of the Association in Munich . In 1885 a founding committee with Franz von Winckel , Robert Michaelis von Olshausen , Otto Küstner , Richard Frommel , Friedrich Schatz , Bernhard Sigmund Schultze and August Breisky was established, from which the board of the new company emerged. The statute had already been drawn up in 1877 by Carl Credé, Karl von Hecker and Alfred Hegar for the first attempt at establishment and has now come into force.
- Founding committee and first board member of the company
From June 17 to 19, 1886, the first congress took place in Munich under the presidency of Franz von Winckel. Lectures were given at this conference by personalities such as Ernst Bumm , Hermann Fehling , Max Hofmeier , Rudolf Kaltenbach , Friedrich Ernst Krukenberg , Otto Küstner , Max Runge , Max Sänger , Friedrich Schatz , Felix Skutsch and Theodor Wyder . It was decided to hold the congress every second year, alternating with the meetings of the German Society for Natural Scientists and Doctors. At the end of the congress the society had 67 members.
- Founding congress participants (selection)
During the National Socialist era , society was asked to join the Reich Central Office for Health Promotion , which was directly subordinate to the Reich Ministry of the Interior . Walter Stoeckel, as president at the time, followed suit in 1933. The congress in Berlin in the same year also dealt with clearly politically motivated topics, such as interventions for eugenic indications, such as compulsory sterilizations and abortions according to the Reich Laws for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring of May 26 and July 14, 1933. Many ordinaries and their employees joined National Socialists Organizations and actively participated in the implementation of the political guidelines. Others, like Carl Kaufmann , were subjected to reprisals or, like Robert Meyer, had to emigrate . The first statistics on eugenic sterilizations were presented as one of the main presentations at the 1935 congress in Munich . The 26th congress had to be postponed twice due to the war and took place in Vienna in 1941 , the first post-war congress in Karlsruhe in 1949 . The behavior in the period from 1933 to 1945 was not dealt with comprehensively until the 1994 congress in Munich in the final lecture "Gynecology under National Socialism" .
After the division of Germany as a result of the Second World War , the GDR founded its own specialist society, the Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the GDR, with regional societies organized by district . After German reunification in 1990, these were dissolved and new associations, such as the North German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics and the Central German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics, were founded as regional organizations of the DGGG.
