German Epilepsy Museum

The German Epilepsy Museum is a museum in Kehl-Kork in Baden-Württemberg.

The museum was founded in 1998 by the German neuropediatrist and epileptologist Hansjörg Schneble and built up together with his son Hans-Martin. It is a unique museum on the subject of epilepsy worldwide . The museum is not far from the Kork Epilepsy Center and shows over 500 exhibits related to the disease in six exhibition rooms. It also houses a scientific library with 300 works from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

In addition to scientific research into epilepsy, the museum also focuses on diagnostics and the development of therapeutic options. Furthermore, paintings and sculptures made by those affected are exhibited in the Epilepsy Museum.

In 2005 the German Epilepsy Museum was awarded the Sibylle Ried Prize from the Michael Foundation.
