    The medical relevance of human sexuality differed greatly over time. While the antique concept of humoral pathology explained the importance of dietetically moderated “lust” with its physiological relevance to health, especially psychiatrically oriented concepts of “sexuality” since the late 18th century concentrated on “ailments” such as “onanism” and “homosexuality”. Deviant sexual behaviour was considered a sign of societal “degeneration”. In democratic societies, “sexual liberation” has only gained ground since the end of the 20th century. However, recent scandals on sexual assault and abuse show the ambivalent circumstances men and women, children and adults are confronted with. Michel Foucault’s studies on the history of sexuality gave valuable theoretical stimuli; yet further research in the field should focus on the history of everyday life, geographically and culturally reaching beyond Europe. Future research should therefore pay more attention to the medical history of sexuality, in order to contribute to interdisciplinary as well as social historical analyses

    The aim of this project is to create a broad platform for researchers, who are interested in the analysis of the origin and spread of the order in Central Europe, the economic safeguarding of the convent’s hospitals, the cultural-historical contributions and the position of the order in the social networks of modern society. In addition, there will be an examination of the canonical aspects, the correlation of the general curia in Rome to the provincial leadership, the internal development of the province, the libraries of the Brothers Hospitallers, the extensive collections of music and the reconstruction of the province as a result of the reforms of Maria Theresia and Joseph II. Furthermore, the comprehensive medical records will be analyzed and evaluated. The group currently consists of 17 researchers from eight countries

    In 1777 the Tyrolean theologian Anton von Sterzinger zu Salzrein (1751–1809) publisheda manual on the importance and practical administration of the holy sacrament of baptism („Abhandlung von der Heiligen Taufe“), including two chapters on the issue of midwife administered emergency baptism. This paper focuses on the contextualisation of the instruction situated at the ambivalent intersection of theological and medical knowledge. Sterzinger’s motivation and the sources cited are scrutinized in order to reconstruct the author’s standpoint in the virulent debates surrounding the animation of the human embryo and the administration of emergency baptism. The final chapter will then deal with the deliberate omission of medico-anatomical terminology and of controversial obstetric and religious practices such as intrauterine baptism procedures and caesarean section
