Abstract

In the first section of this paper Andreas Peglau presents new material on the vicissitudes of the life of publicist and feminist Maria v. Stach. Of particular interest is her longtime relationship to Karen Horney, both as patient and as friend. ? Michael Schröter adds new information about Georg Wanke, director of a sanatorium in Thuringia, who came to psychoanalysis from hypnotism. In September/October 1911 he (1) visited the Weimar Congress, (2) presented a paper on psychoanalysis to his psychiatric colleagues, and (3) joined the Berlin Psychoanalytic Association. His 1924 book contains some remarkable ideas on euthanasia which seem to have been directly approved by Freud. – Last but not least A. Peglau provides a portrait of the man who created the Weimar photo, Franz Vältl.
