The German Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility e. V. ( DGNM ) has set itself the task of supporting the exchange of scientific results in the field of gastrointestinal motility and neurogastroenterology by organizing and participating in national scientific working groups and symposia as well as international specialist conferences.
history
In 1981 the "Working Group Gastrointestinal Motility" of the DGVS was founded by Martin Wienbeck . The founding impulse came from the 8th International Gastrointestinal Motility Meeting , which Wienbeck had organized in Königstein / Taunus in 1981.
Both Martin Wienbeck (later in Augsburg) and Gerhard Lux (later in Solingen) headed the working group until 1988, followed by Joachim F. Erckenbrecht (Düsseldorf) and Stefan Müller-Lissner (Munich, later Berlin). After an amendment to the statutes in 1993, there was a rotating change in the board and constant financial management by Paul Enck (Düsseldorf, later Tübingen) as secretary. Since then, an important basis of the society has been the regular annual scientific working conferences, which are initially also held on a rotating basis, then for many years in Tutzing, later in Hohenkammer and currently alternately in Freising and Berlin.
In 1999 the “Working Group for Gastrointestinal Motility” first became the “Working Group for Neurogastroenterology and Motility” and in 2002 the “German Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility”, which today has around 290 members, both clinicians and basic scientists. The DGNM also chairs the Neurogastroenterology and Motility Working Group of the DGVS.
Membership in the ESNM
The association is a member of the European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility , a subsidiary of the United European Gastroenterology , in which all national gastroenterological societies are united .
