title: [History of psychosomatic medicine in Heidelberg. V. v. Weizsäcker and A. Mitscherlich as clinic founders].
abstract: The History of Psychosomatics in Heidelberg: The history of the Mitscherlich psychosomatic clinic and the older Weizsacker ward at the Krehl clinic has been retold with the help of new archive discoveries, it seems to be necessary and also possible to advance the deidealization of these Father figures which, in Mitscherlich's case, has hardly begun. The problem here is to avoid getting involved in the difference which the descendants of these founding fathers nurtured, to the disadvantage of all involved. Reconciliation of this matter includes both resolving the past and severing any identification with the alleged heroes. Even though now smaller, they appear even friendlier.
