history

On February 1, 1969, a society for internal intensive medicine was founded in Hamburg on the occasion of the 72nd meeting of the Northwest German Society for Internal Medicine on the proposal of the Hamburg Working Group for Internal Intensive Medicine. The first board of directors was formed by: R. Gross (Cologne), K. Spang (Stuttgart), A. Dönhardt (Hamburg) and D. Haan (Hamburg) as secretaries. The society initially called itself the Working Group for Internal Intensive Care Medicine (AIM). The society kept the name AIM until 1976. According to a resolution of the board of directors of September 1, 1976, which was approved by the general meeting on November 13, 1976, the name was changed to German Society for Internal Intensive Care Medicine (DGII).

On October 8, 1982, on the occasion of the annual meeting in Bochum, a new version of the statutes was adopted by the general assembly.

During the annual meeting in Cologne on October 12, 1990, the general meeting decided to add the name to the German Society for Internal Intensive Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine .

On the occasion of the 1994 annual meeting in Düsseldorf, the board of directors and the general assembly drafted a further revision of the statutes, which were adopted in Berlin in 1995. The company should thus be entered in the register of associations.

The nursing section was founded in 2018 within the German Society for Internal Intensive Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine. The constituent meeting and the election of the section speakers were held in December 2018 as part of the DIVI congress in Leipzig. The idea of ​​the nursing section within the DGIIN goes back largely to Norbert Schwabbauer , who died unexpectedly in 2017 and is to be continued in his spirit of interprofessional cooperation. With the establishment of the section, nurses are also full members of the DGIIN. The first speakers for the section are Carsten Hermes, Bonn and Tobias Ochmann, Hamburg.
