General Remarks Since the year 1979 the National Committee of the Division of History of Science of the Internatio- nal Union of History and Philosophy of Science (DHST/IUHPS) has published reports on research and teaching in the history of science and technology in Germany. These reports were presented on occasion of the International Congresses which the DHST/IUHPS holds every four years. Until 2005, the reports were printed. The last report, published in 2009, was distributed as CD-ROM, and it was also made public in the Committee's homepage. In all those years, the reports have provided information on history of science, technology, and medicine by giving an insight both about the institutions (university institutes, professorships, de- partments, museums, societies) and the publications in this field. Like the present one, the past re- ports were organized in two sections; section one listing the institutions, and section two rendering a select bibliography which was compiled by asking researchers to send us lists of their publications. Once again, we hope that this overview may serve as a reference work for specialists and also as a means of orientation for researchers and students who are new to our field (see Meinel/Weber 2005: 6). The report was also compiled with the intention to make German history of science visible to an international audience. This year's overview continues the last report distributed in 2009. Like the latter, and for the second time in the history of reporting our activities to the national and international community, our bi- bliography has been selected from the internet-based data-base “WissTecMed” (http://lit. wisstecmed.de/detail.ph p ). The data-base, which was founded in 2008, now contains more than 5000 entries. Since 2012 it has exchanged data with the larger data-base run by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Historischer Forschungseinrichtungen in München (AHF: http://www.ahf- muenchen.de). In this years's report, the selected bibliography has been extended to persons who have published in the area, even if they do not presently belong to institutions in history of science.1 The great majori- 1 A remark about terminology: The term “history of science” is sometimes used as a general term for the whole field (history of science, medicine and technology). http://www.digibib.tu-bs.de/?docid=00055530 23/01/2014 History of Science, Technology and Medicine in Germany 2009-2012 V ty of the entries has been created by the authors and/or the institutions themselves. However, it should be noted that this bibliography is not a comprehensive bibliographical report and that the number of entries per person or per institution is no quantitative indicator of their activities (cf. Wahrig/Steinsieck 2009). Due to space limitations, we are unable to include all the 3000 publicati- ons, which have been added to the database between 2009 to 2012, and we also regret that we could not publish the bibliographic entries which have been sent to us by the authors of the AHF biblio- graphy. They are, however, present in the online bibliography. Due to these constraints, we have limited the number of entries in the report to ten publications per author. Many authors have helped us by making the choice themselves, in other cases we chose those publications which seemed to be the most important ones. We have tried to act as painsta- kingly and consistently as possible. Readers may find all the entries per author, per institution or other categories like title words by consulting the database “WissTecMed” at the website: “Wiss- TecMed” (http://lit.wisstecmed.de/detail.php2 Our special thanks go to Bernhard Eversberg, Universtitätsbibliothek Braunschweig. He has magni- ficerntly supported us concerning the technical side of the data-base and its website. The develop- ment, utilization and maintenance of “WissTecMed” would not be possible without his competent and energetic help. Section I of our report is dedicated to the institutions. It has three sub-sections. In the first part (I.1), we list the societies following order of the dates of their foundation. Subsection I.2 informs the rea- der about institutes, departments and professorships at Universities, and subsection I.3 is dedicated to institutions and long-term projects located outside universities, e.g. at museums, or funded by academies or societies. Section II comprises the bibliography and is organized in analogous subsec- tions. Section III lists all institutions represented in this report and Section IV lists the authors, both in alphabetical order. Since our report is intended both for German and international readers, we have asked the institu- tions to give their reports both in English and in German; for better readability, we have translated the field names into English. Like in the previous reports, only institutions whose
