When Emil Kraepelin died (15. 02. 1856-07. 10. 1926), he left
behind his memoirs, which were not published until today.
Co-workers and col leagues from the last years of Kraepelin's life
and his family knew that such an autobiography existed, but they
were not sure whether these memoirs should be made public, so they
remained unpublished. At a commemoration 50 years after Emil
Kraepelin's death in Mu nich (1976) the descendants, who attended
the festivities, agreed to the editors' suggestion to publish the
"Memoirs". Through this publication we have been able to learn more
about the life of a man, whose work has had a decisive and lasting
effect on the entire psychiatry since the end of the last century.
When one reads the memoirs, one has to admit that on ly very little
is known about this great psychiatrist's personality and path
through life and that this gap has by no means been filled by the
publica tion of his memoirs. Perhaps this publication will
encourage work on a biography, which will give us more information
on Kraepelin's person ality, life and scientific work. The
focal-point of Kraepelin's work lies in the classification of psy
chiatric clinical syndromes, which was developed from clinical
observa tions, was constantly tested empirically and was altered
taking new findings and knowledge into account. However, the basis
of this system has remained unchanged and valid until today.
