history
The forerunner institution can be traced back to the establishment of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors in Leipzig in 1822. In 1886 a forensic medicine section was founded within this society . In 1904, at the request of Georg Puppes, the German Society for Forensic Medicine was founded. The ordinaries Carl Ipsen and Julius Kratter from Austria, Leon Wachholz from Poland as well as Adolf Lesser (Breslau), Georguppe, Fritz Straßmann and Emil Ungar from Germany were represented in the founding committee . In a first circular in 1904 it says: "The purpose of the society should be to create a center for joint scientific work and to contribute to a personal association of the experts."
In 1968 the society was given its current name after it had been changed to the German Society for Legal and Social Medicine . The society achieved the introduction of the specialist in forensic medicine, as has been part of the curriculum in the German Democratic Republic since 1956 and in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1976. The Society for Forensic Medicine of the GDR (GFGM) existed from 1963 to 1990. It awarded the Richard Kockel Medal for special scientific achievements . Many GFGM members joined the DGRM after the German reunification .
