Abstract
In 1964 the German CF Association (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Bekämpfung der Mukoviszidoze e.V.) was founded in Erlangen. In the same year the first CF centers were set up in some university hospitals. Regular conventions of the CF Association led to a better education of German pediatricians and stimulated the founding of further CF centers throughout the former FRG, preferably in the university pediatric medical centers. In addition to these conventions directed both to doctors and lay people, regular scientific meetings for physicians interested in CF have taken place every year in Titisee/Black Forest since 1979. The aim of these meetings is to train young doctors in CF management, to standardize the medical care of CF patients in Germany and to discuss new therapeutic concepts. These Titisee meetings also initiated the start of a CF register of all patients treated in the participating CF centers.
