This process happened during three consecutive political breaks: the Wilhelminian Empire’s restitution of the German-speaking university (1872-1918), the liberal Interwar Period (1918-1939), as well as the Nazi occupation and creation of the German Reichs-University (1940/41-1944). Between 1872 and 1918, after the end of the Franco-German War and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine into the German Empire, the newly inaugurated Kaiser-Wilhelms-University not only constituted the first foundation of a German university after the creation of the Rhenish Friedrich-Wilhelms University of Bonn in 1818. It became also established as a premier research university that showcased the excellence of German science and post-secondary education in Strasburg. During the first two decades of its existence, leading academics were hired as professors for the Medical Faculty, such as anatomist Wilhelm von Waldeyer (development of the neuron concept), pathologist Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen (exploration of neurofibromatosis), psychiatrist Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing (pioneering studies in sexual psychopathology), who pushed the research envelope in contemporary neuroscience. The international standing of the university came to decline at the end of the nineteenth century, however, since several of its founding faculty were hired away to major research universities in Prussia; and lessened academic productivity of the remaining faculty subsequently became the rule before the outbreak of the First World War.

The article focuses on the paralyzing conditions of the publishing trade in post-1945 Germany due to a tremendous lack of resources, a growing political East-West-antagonism and the Nazi background of both authors and publishers. The article examines how academics competed for influence in the newly-structured field of German Medical History which, in the 1950s, underwent a generational change. However, former students' loyalties to their teachers remained very close resulting in a search for continuity. This became visible when, in 1952, the first postwar volume of “Sudhoffs Archiv“ appeared, joining together a first part comprising of articles authored and submitted to the editors in 1943 and a second part consisting of articles submitted for the 1952 re-launch, epitomizing the missed chance for a new beginning. The examined correspondences of the new editors shed light on the protagonists' political opportunism vis-a-vis readers outside Germany and their struggle both for quality assurance in a discipline, which was deprived of its most progressive exponents as a consequence of emigration during the Nazi period, and for recognition in the international scientific community. In this complex field of conflicting interests, the journal missed a substantial and methodological reorientation in the 1950s.","PeriodicalId":76565,"journal":{"name":"Sudhoffs Archiv","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69209890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is, in part, due to the lack of sources describing individual experiences with such ailments. The patient journals of the homoeopath Clemens Maria Franz von Bönninghausen (1785–1864), who practiced in Münster in Westphalia between 1829 and 1864, offer the possibility of learning more about patients in the field of dental care and medicine. Whilst practising, Bönninghausen treated more than 27,000 patients. The entries he made about 14,266 of them were transcribed in a database which provides a rich source of information about the clientele the homoeopath had, their illnesses and their behaviour during medical treatment. 785 patients told the homoeopath that they had problems with their teeth. Some only vaguely said that they had some kind of ache, whilst others described pulling, stabbing, searing or even burning and itching sensations. The majority of these people also had tried other cures before. In some cases, teeth already had been pulled out without improving the situation. Therefore the entries in the patient journals are proof of the demand for dental care and treatment and the growing awareness of people towards their dental health. But during their search for a cure, they not only consulted the trained dentists who could, in most cases, only offer unsuccessful treatments. This clashed with the attempts by these trained specialists to improve their social status and professionalisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":76565,"journal":{"name":"Sudhoffs Archiv","volume":"100 1","pages":"110-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39965693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His social background and connections helped him in his early academic career and gave him a distinct advantage over his fellow student Jakob Steiner (1796–1863). The personal and social differences may therefore have been the underlying reason for the hostility and lifelong rift between these two famous mathematicians of the 19th century.

It is usually understood that a convincing interpretation would require some elements of approximation or (infinitesimal?) smallness, although such elements cannot be found in Fermat's writings. \u0000\u0000We shall present a reading which is based on Fermat's frequent use of the, less-than'-relation when either a maximal point on a given curve or a point on a tangent outside the curve is considered. In all applications of his method Fermat constructs certain additional polynomials (h) which have the form (h) = hψ(h) and shows that (h) is strictly positive in a certain neighbourhood of 0 for h ≠ 0. This is the core of the fermatian method of, adequality'. It allows one to conclude that (h) has a double root at h = 0 and hence the constant term c of ψ(h) must be zero. In this way Fermat passes from, adequality' to, equality', hoping that the equation c = 0 yields enough information to arrive at a solution of the problem under consideration. It is clear that infinitesimal arguments are not needed in this reading of the fermatian method, and that the only mathematical techniques used herein were available at Fermat's time. In addition the mathematics of Fermat becomes clear and correct. \u0000\u0000We also carefully analyze the source of Fermat's method of adequality, namely the 'p a r i s ó t ē s ' of Diophantus.</p>","PeriodicalId":76565,"journal":{"name":"Sudhoffs Archiv","volume":"100 1","pages":"83-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39986641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
