Academic memorial service for Prof. Dr. med. Gerrit Hohendorf

After a serious illness, our deputy institute director Prof. Dr. Gerrit Hohendorf passed away on July 12, 2021. Gerrit Hohendorf was a medical historian, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, an adjunct professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and head of our medical history department at the Institute for the History and Ethics of Medicine (IGEM).
His work has focused on medicine under National Socialism, the history and ethics of psychiatry, and current ethical issues at the beginning and end of life from a historical perspective.
