Tales from Münchhausen's country: forensic psychiatry in Germany
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
It was with some surprise that I learnt I should be settling but a stone's throw away from Baron von Münchhausen's birthplace in today's West Germany. The house at Bodenwerder on the Weser where he was born now serves as the town hall; the Münchhausen family had obviously been influential in the area for when I began to work in the psychiatric hospital at Moringen, I found that the original building had been erected by them in 1738.
