Abstract

The deliberate search for the unexplored is at an increasing rate based on communication between kindred spirits. Academic societies unquestionably offer a forum for that. They provide the possibility for exchange of ideas about new knowledge. In 1960 – i.e. 15 years after the end of the horrible Second World War – bright minds in parasitology thought that it was the right time to unite German-speaking parasitologists in a common Society of Parasitology.

Prof. Dr. med.vet. habil. Dr. h.c. (Vienna) Dr. h.c. (Leipzig) Theodor Hiepe (mail: theodor.hiepe@hu-berlin.de) member of the DGP (No. 43) since 1961. Foundation member of the Parasitological Society of the GDR, member of the board from 1962 to 1965; president from 1965 to 1990. Habilitation for internal veterinary medicine, pathophysiology and forensic veterinary science (1958 in Leipzig); adjunct chief veterinarian at the Zoo in Leipzig. From 1961 to 1993 Ord. Prof. and director of the Institute for Parasitology at Humboldt University.
