Abstract
The deliberate search for the unexplored is at an increasing rate based on communication between kindred spirits. Academic societies unquestionably offer a forum for that. They provide the possibility for exchange of ideas about new knowledge. In 1960 – i.e. 15 years after the end of the horrible Second World War – bright minds in parasitology thought that it was the right time to unite German-speaking parasitologists in a common Society of Parasitology.
