Walther Laubender was born in Freising in 1898 as the son of a pharmacist and graduated from a humanistic grammar school in Munich . Subsequently, he studied from 1917 to 1922 medicine at the universities of Munich , Erlangen , Frankfurt and at the University of Heidelberg , where he also in 1922 received his doctorate .

From 1938 he was unscheduled and from 1943 associate professor at the University of Frankfurt, on the pending appeal of it in the years 1934/1935 Fritz Külz a substitute, headed the Institute of Pharmacology, after the Jewish-born professor Werner Lipschitz in the 1933 Turkey emigrated was. In addition, he acted from 1943 to 1948 as the deputy director of the Neurological Institute. After the Second World War, from 1949 to 1953, he again acted as the deputy director of the Pharmacological Institute, after both the previous professor Fritz Külz and Otto Riesser, who was appointed his acting successor at the beginning of the year, died at the end of 1949 .

In April 1953 , Peter Holtz , who had previously worked at the University of Rostock , took over the management of the institute. Walther Laubender, who did not accept this decision and did not recognize Holtz as his superior, was appointed a full public professor one year after Holtz's appointment. In 1956 he left the institute due to the ongoing personal conflict between the two and took over a full professorship for experimental medicine including the management of an independent department at Frankfurt University.
