Synopsis

English summary: Under what circumstances could a mentally ill person be committed to an “asylum” during the Weimar Republic, the Nazi state, and the divided Germany? This longitudinal study examines both successful and unsuccessful attempts to (re)regulate public accommodations and to provide a legal framework for the treatment of “insanity. German description: Wann ist ein Mensch psychisch krank? Wer entscheidet uber die Unterbringung, wer uber die Entlassung? Welche Rechte haben Betroffene? Diese Fragen pragen bis heute die gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzung uber die rechtlichen Grundlagen psychiatrischer Unterbringung. Benedikt Kemper wirft ein Licht auf historische Losungsansatze. Er untersucht, welche Antworten deutsche Ministerialbeamte in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts auf diese Fragen gefunden haben. Anhand einer Untersuchung erfolgreicher wie gescheiterter Reformversuche zeigt die Studie, wie sich die Beamt:innen im Spannungsfeld widerstreitender Interessen positionierten und wie gesellschaftliche Unsicherheitswahrnehmungen ihre Arbeit pragten. Sie offnet so den Blick fur Kontinuitaten von der Weimarer Republik uber die NS-Diktatur bis ins geteilte Deutschland hinein.
