On December 6, 1961, a contract was signed by which the research
institute of the Wander AG in Freiburg became the
Max-Planck-Institut fUr Immunbiologie. The transfer of ownership
took place during a happy expansion phase of the Max-Planck Society
in which a growing economy in Germany allowed the foundation of
many new research institutes by the Max-Planck-Society and other
organizations. Nevertheless, it was a remarkable event. The
acquisition by an academic organization of an institute formerly
operated by an industrial company was rather unusual, not to speak
ofthe fact that not only the facilities but also the entire
scientific personnel were taken over. Retrospectively, the 40 years
of the institute in the Max-Planck Society can be divided into 2
very different phases of 20 years each. The first 20 years were
characterized by a continuation of the research that had begun in
the Wander institute and centered on the structure and function of
the bacterial compound endotoxin. During the second 20 years, the
institute more than doubled in size and developed into an
interdisciplinary research center that focuses on the development
and organization of multicellular systems by combining studies in
two fields of research: immunology and developmental biology. th
The 40 anniversary of the foundation of the Max-Planck-Institute
was celebrated by a ceremony including a scientific symposium. The
first part of this volume presents the lectures given at the
symposium by six leading biologists."
