title: [100 years of skin hospital Giessen: from the lupus hospice to the center of dermatology and andrology].
abstract: For one hundred years the skin hospital at the clinical center of Giessen University has been an important institution for patients with skin diseases. The hospital has not only been an address for patients to turn to but also a place of work and training for health personnel. Its profile has been especially established, formed and developed by the chairs of dermatology. Its development was strongly influenced by the treatment of lupus and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). This is exemplary for the development of other German dermatology clinics.
