The research for this paper was initiated by an Erlangen exhibition project on the history of homeopathy on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Samuel Hahnemann's birth in 2005. The founder of homeopathic medicine received his doctor of medicine degree at the University of Erlangen in 1779. As Hahnemann spent only four months in Erlangen, homeopathic physicians, patients and apothecaries in the region from Hahnemann's time until today were investigated. The aim was to provide a concise survey of the general problems in the history of homeopathy derived from regional cases which could be illustrated by objects suitable for an exhibition. Thus, the article is not only about the history of homeopathy in Northern Bavaria (Franconia), but also about a shift in the use of media and about doing science the other way round, viz. by starting at the presentation and ending with the sources. The outcome of the project was that most of the crucial topics of the history of homeopathy could be covered on a micro-historic scale: trials, pharmacy, hospital, patients, university, National Socialism.
本文的研究始于2005年在埃尔朗根举办的一个关于顺势疗法历史的展览项目，以纪念塞缪尔·哈内曼诞辰250周年。顺势疗法医学的创始人于1779年在埃尔朗根大学获得医学博士学位。由于哈内曼在埃尔朗根只待了四个月，因此对从哈内曼时代至今该地区的顺势疗法医生、患者和药剂师进行了调查。目的是通过适合展览的物品，对源自区域案例的顺势疗法历史中的一般问题进行简要概述。因此，本文不仅讲述了巴伐利亚北部（弗兰肯）的顺势疗法历史，还讲述了媒体使用的转变以及以另一种方式开展科学研究，即从展示开始，以资料来源结束。该项目的成果是，顺势疗法历史的大多数关键主题都可以在微观历史层面上进行涵盖：试验、药房、医院、患者、大学、纳粹主义。
