title: [The establishment and development of the dermatological clinics of the University of Münster (Alfred Stühmer, Carl Moncorps and Paul Jordan)].
abstract: The first 25 years in the history of the Dermatology Clinic of the University of Münster have been marked by continual striving for acceptable accommodations. Alfred Stühmer founded the clinic in 1925 in an old church of the Poor Clares which was under preservation order as a historical monument. In 1938 Carl Moncorps received official leave to build a new dermatology clinic but was forced to witness the complete destruction of the old clinic during World War II. He was not able to move into today's hospital complex until 1950. Stühmer introduced logical, consistent, and exemplary treatment of tuberculosis of the skin. From 1937 to 1951 Moncorps made great progress in this field which peaked when the first immunotherapeutic cure of tuberculosis appeared. Paul Jordan became head of the clinic in 1953 and began the shift to an up-to-date and efficient clinic by founding special outpatient clinics and laboratories.
