The "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie--Herzund Kreislaufforschung" (German Cardiac Society) was founded as "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kreislaufforschung" on June 6, 1927, in Bad Nauheim by B. Kisch, Cologne, and A. Weber, Bad Nauheim. They were actively supported by F.M. Groedel, Bad Nauheim, who later in 1950--together with B. Kisch, now both of New York--was co-founder of the American College of Cardiology (ACC). Thus, our Society is the oldest society of cardiology in Europe. The first meeting of the Society was held in Cologne in 1928, with H. E. Hering as president. From that year on there was an annual meeting of the Society until the last one during WWII in 1941 in Bad Nauheim. After WWII the first meeting of the Society was held again in Bad Nauheim in 1949. The Society met there annually until 1982. From 1983 onwards--the Society now called "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herz- und Kreislaufforschung"--the (spring) meeting has taken place in Mannheim. In 1974 an additional annual autumn meeting was established, taking place at alternating locations. The emphasis of these autumn meetings is placed on continuous medical education on a high level, contrary to the spring meetings focussing on the scientific aspects. In 1950 the Society joined the International Society and Federation of Cardiology (ISFC)--now the World Heart Federation (WHF)--in Paris, and in 1952 the European Society of Cardiology (E.S.C.) in London. According to its statutes, in 1994 the Society changed its name to "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Kardiologie--Herz- und Kreislaufforschung". The Society, which brings together cardiologists, clinicians in universities, community hospitals and in private practice, and researchers working in the field of cardiology, cardiac surgeons and pediatric cardiologists, has more than 4900 members, including 10 honorary members, and 13 corresponding members. The Society has 4 committees, 9 project groups and 10 clusters with 29 working groups, and sponsors 13 prizes and awards as well as 14 national and international grants.
“德国心脏病学会——心脏与循环系统研究学会”（德国心脏学会）于1927年6月6日在巴特瑙海姆由科隆的B. 基施和巴特瑙海姆的A. 韦伯创立，最初名为“德国循环系统研究学会”。巴特瑙海姆的F.M. 格勒德尔给予了积极支持，他后来在1950年与当时均在纽约的B. 基施共同创立了美国心脏病学会（ACC）。因此，我们的学会是欧洲最古老的心脏病学学会。学会的首次会议于1928年在科隆举行，由H. E. 赫林担任主席。从那一年起，学会每年举行一次会议，直到1941年二战期间在巴特瑙海姆举行的最后一次会议。二战后，学会的首次会议于1949年再次在巴特瑙海姆举行。学会每年在那里举行会议，直到1982年。从1983年起——学会现名为“德国心脏与循环系统研究学会”——（春季）会议在曼海姆举行。1974年增设了年度秋季会议，会议地点轮流更换。这些秋季会议的重点是高水平的继续医学教育，而春季会议则侧重于科学方面。1950年，该学会在巴黎加入了国际心脏病学会和联合会（ISFC）——现称世界心脏联合会（WHF），并于1952年在伦敦加入了欧洲心脏病学会（E.S.C.）。根据其章程，1994年该学会更名为“德国心脏病学会——心脏与循环系统研究学会”。该学会汇聚了心脏病学家、大学临床医生、社区医院和私人诊所的临床医生、从事心脏病学领域研究的人员、心脏外科医生和儿科心脏病学家，拥有4900多名会员，包括10名荣誉会员和13名通讯会员。学会设有4个委员会、9个项目组和10个集群，下辖29个工作组，赞助13项奖项以及14项国家和国际资助。
