sOTOLOGY JUBILEE: 150 Years of the Archiv für OhrenheilkundePast-Present-Future in Otology & Neurotology

One hundred fifty years ago, Hermann Schwartze in Halle, Adam Politzer in Vienna, and Anton von Tröltsch in Würzburg jointly founded the Archiv für Ohrenheilkunde (“Archive of Otology”), as the world‘s first journal solely devoted to otology. Today, the journal is published as the “European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology”.

The conference celebrates this jubilee of our specialty with a program consisting of oral and poster contributions on the history, the state of the art and the future directions of otology and neurotology, under the motto:

“Where do we come from? – Where are we? - Where are we going?”

It is the aim of the conference to look back and acknowledge the endeavors and successes of our academic predecessors but also to point out meanders in basic and clinical science, diagnostics and therapy. We want to proudly emphasize the amazing developments in understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of the intact and the diseased organ, in diagnostic technology and surgical techniques including passive and active implants for restoring hearing, which all have completely changed our field in the last 150 years. We want to discuss which otological and neurootological questions and problems have been solved during the last 150 years and which are still unsolved issues in different parts of the world. Finally, we want to increase interest in the fascinating history of otology and neurotology and catch a glimpse of what we may expect in the future of our specialty.

On behalf of all organizers I welcome you in Halle

Wayenborgh Publishing is proud to announce the publication in Autumn 2014, the second volume of Albert Mudry´s work on Otological History:

Albert Mudry

History of OtologyA Tribute to Adam Politzer

Wayenborgh Publishers 2014

Albert Mudry spent the last ten years in preparing what will be the future Standard Work on Otological History. Thousands of references will help the reader to dig further in interesting aspects of this specialty of medical history. The book is expected to have more than 700 pages, illustrated in great part from the author´s own archives. Dedicated to Adam Politzer, it will replace and update Politzer´s History of Otology until mid 19th century that was published in German more than 100 years ago.Mudry´s first opus, Adam Politzer - A life for Otology, was published by Wayenborgh 2010 and is here, in Halle, on display by our representatives in Europe, Kugler Publications from Amsterdam.Inquiries regarding this new publication, please directly at [email protected]

German National Academy of Science „Leopoldina“ in Halle/Saale, GermanyThe conference will be held in the headquarter

of the German National Academy of Science.

Founded in 1652 in Schweinfurt, Leopoldina is the world’s oldest continuously existing academy for medicine and the natural sciences. It is the first and foremost academic society in Germany to advise the German government on a variety of scientific matters.

The building’s architecture reflects its fascinating history. It incorporates different architectural styles that testify to the changing zeitgeist and its previous owners’ ambition and desire to impress. Two examples of the repeated restructuring and expansion projects are the conversion of the west wing into a banquet room in 1867 and the extensive restructuring of the eastern wing in 1889.

Address: Jägerberg 1, 06108 Halle (Saale)

The spacious banquet room on the first floor can accommodate international conferences and festive events with up to 380 participants. The Academy also has a second auditorium with a capacity of 170 seats and several seminar rooms are used for symposia and public lectures.
