History of the Institute

History of the Institute

The foundation of the Max-Planck-Institute for Heart and Lung Research was brought about by the actions of two men: Professor Franz Groedel (1881–1951) and William G. Kerckhoff (1856–1929). Franz Groedel was one of the first German cardiologists who set up practice in Bad Nauheim, the world-famous spa town for the treatment of heart diseases at that time.
