Abstract
The four main themes of this book — professional discipline, confidentiality, patient consent and the doctor’s duties — have illustrated various dimensions of the relationship between medical ethics and the law in Imperial Germany. What were the main features of this relationship? Which continuities and discontinuities in doctors’ professional ethics and in medical law can be observed after the German defeat in 1918, during the Weimar Republic?1 Which changes came in this regard with the seizure of power by the National Socialists in 1933?
