Please join us to learn about the History of Psychiatry in Munich during a high level symposium which will be opened by Prof. Hans-Jürgen Möller the chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich and by Prof. Florian Holsboer the Chair of the Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry in Munich.
Famous scientists as Hanns Hippius (the former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, Founding Member of the CINP, and Chair of the Research group on the History of Psychiatry at the University of Munich), Prof. Norbert Müller (Vice-Chair of the Research group on the History of Psychiatry at the University of Munich), Prof. Eric Engstrom, a well-known historian at the Charité University of Berlin, and Prof. Matthias M. Weber, Head of the Historical Archives of the Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry will present special plenary lectures, covering not only the truly outstanding early history of Psychiatry in Munich but also the dark years during the Nazi regime and the subsequent remarkable development into one of the world's leading research centers in psychiatry today.

Visit with us these historical places!

There is a long tradition of Biological Psychiatry in Munich, with eminent figures such as Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926), a pioneer in the research on psychoses and Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915), who described the most common dementia.

In 1904 the Department of Psychiatry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University was opened by Emil Kraepelin who is seen as founder of modern scientific psychiatry and psychopharmacology. His psychiatric theories dominated the field of psychiatry at the beginning of the 20th century. Kraepelin specifically postulated new classifications as “Manic Depression” and “Dementia praecox” what was previously considered to be a unitary concept of psychosis. His fundamental theories on the etiology and diagnosis of psychiatric disorders form the basis of all major diagnostic systems in use today, especially the DSM-IV and ICD-10 system.
In 1917 Emil Kraepelin opened the “German Research Institute of Psychiatry” the now called Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry.

Together with Emil Kraepelin a second famous scientist used to work at the Department of Psychiatry at the Ludwig-Maxi-milians-University. It was Alois Alzheimer who identified the first case of what became known as Alzheimer’s disease. The patient was a 50-year-old woman called Auguste D who was followed by Alzheimer until she died in 1906.

Join with us a “historical day“. Visit with us the Department of Psychiatry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and the Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry. Have a look at the old lab of Alzheimer and get an impression on the history of Psychiatry in Munich!


The programme starts at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Nußbaumstr. 7, and ends at the Max-Planck-Institute.

Visit to the New Jewish Museum

Historical Tour
Monday, 14 July 2008,
19.30 - 21.00 h
Address: St. Jakobs-Platz 16, 80331 Munich

Congress delegates are kindly invited to visit the Jewish Museum, Munich which recently opened its doors to the public.
Professor Robert Haim Belmaker, the President Elect of CINP, is very pleased to personally welcome the congress participants and to accompany the tour through the museum.
The Jewish Museum is located at St.-Jakobs-Platz, adjacent to Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt, which is home of a new building complex of the Jewish life in Munich.
The Saarbrücken-based architects Wandel, Hoefer and Lorch have given the complex of three buildings a unified appearance by using the same material on all facades. The museum is designed as a freestanding cube. With its transparent ground floor lobby, glazed on all four sides, it functions not only as a display window but also as a public space.
The Jewish Museum looks back into the long and colorful Jewish history of Munich from the early 13th century to this day, with a predominant part of the exhibition being related to the Holocaust as a matter of course, and it presents a flexible and dynamic forum on three floors where visitors can explore a world of insights into Jewish life and culture in Munich.


Since participation is limited, please pre-register for this tour.

Cost contribution per person: EUR 15

Organ concert

Hommage à Bach
Monday, 14 July 2008,
20.00 - 22.00 h
University Church St. Ludwig
Address: Ludwigstr. 22, 80539 Munich

Congress delegates are kindly invited to join an organ concert at the University Church St. Ludwig Munich.
Anne-Maria Möller-Leimkühler and Hans-Jürgen Möller draw a bow from ba-roque music of Johann S. Bach up to the modernity.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer of the baroque era and well known as one of the most impressive composers ever, who has significantly influenced classical music in later stages. Among his coevals Bach was considered the major composer, who could implement the wide range of keys through the complete cy-cle of fifths.
PD Dr. Anne-Maria Möller-Leimkühler and Professor Hans-Jürgen Möller play the great pipe organ with all its differentiation varieties and its large sound dynamic.
The concert will take place at the Parish and University Church St. Ludwig which was built between 1829 and 1844 on the initiative of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The church reminds the observer of the medieval era and forms an architectural unit with the Ludwig Maximilian University, which is situated diagonally across the street, in the Italian Old Town of Munich. The proximity of the church and the university was intended to stress the essential combination of faith and knowledge for the complete edu-cation of the citizenry.

Since participation is limited, please pre-register for this concert.

German Psychiatrists in Concert 

The world of depression, suicidality and delusion expressed through famous chamber music and opera arias

Wednesday, 16 July 2008, 20.00 – 22.00 h
Cuvilliés Theatre in the Munich Residence
Address: Residenzstr. 1, 80333 Munich

Psychiatrists from Germany who are also professional  musi-cians perform chamber music and opera arias of the highest quality for the enjoyment and enrichment of their colleagues from all over the globe. We invite you to enjoy the enchanting performance that is filled with intimate collegiality and expresses the sentiments of psychiatric disorders through selected pieces of music.
The concert takes place at the Cuvilliés Theatre, named after its architect, François Cuvilliés the Elder. This theatre of the Rococo era contains the auditorium which was built by Elector Maximilian Joseph III in 1751 – 55 as his “New Opera House”.
Originally reserved exclusively for members of the court, the theatre was located in close proximity to the Residence. Many lavish opera productions were mounted here, including the first performances of Mozart’s Idomeneo in 1781.
Nothing remains of the ceiling painting by Johann Baptist Zimmermann that originally graced the auditorium, but the elaborate carved decoration of the tiers, with its figures, floral ornament and patterning, makes the Cuvilliés theatre not only a major work of Bavarian Rococo, but a synthesis of the arts with few equals in Europe.

Since participation is limited, please pre-register for this concert.

Cost contribution per person: EUR 15

Tickets are available at the counter.
