This article traces the relatively early and successful establishment, institutionalization and professionalization of homoeopathy in the kingdom of Bavaria. Prevailing antirationalist and antimaterialist tendencies in "romantic" Bavaria made homoeopathy a particularly attractive option among parts of the clerical-conservative and aristocratic ruling elites. Building upon their support in the administration and in Parliament, Bavarian homoeopaths were largely able to ward off the legal restrictions advocated by their allopathic opponents. The first (honorary) German professorship for homoeopathy was established in Munich and a homoeopathic hospital prospered. In contrast to other German states, however, a homoeopathic mass movement failed to develop, presumably due to the relative weakness of bourgeois culture and to the enduring predominance of traditional "folk"-medicine as the major alternative to academic medicine among wide sectors of the population.
本文追溯了顺势疗法在巴伐利亚王国相对早期且成功的建立、制度化和专业化过程。“浪漫的”巴伐利亚盛行的反理性主义和反物质主义倾向，使顺势疗法在部分神职人员保守派和贵族统治精英中成为一个特别有吸引力的选择。基于他们在行政部门和议会中的支持，巴伐利亚的顺势疗法从业者在很大程度上能够抵御对抗疗法对手所倡导的法律限制。德国首个（荣誉）顺势疗法教授职位在慕尼黑设立，一家顺势疗法医院蓬勃发展。然而，与德国其他邦国不同的是，顺势疗法群众运动未能发展起来，大概是由于资产阶级文化相对薄弱，以及传统“民间”医学在广大民众中作为学术医学的主要替代方法持续占据主导地位。
