Nowadays B. v. Gudden is primary known as psychiatrist of the dream-king Ludwig II.; nevertheless he was not only a doctor of the top people, but one of the great clinicians, neuropathologists and psychiatric teachers in the last third of the 19th century. Trained at Siegburg and Illenau, the leading institutions of german mental hospital psychiatry, he was formed by Conolly's "no-restraint"-movement as well as by Griesingers neuropathological concepts. So he became one of the most influential academic teachers of german psychiatry, who attracted important pupils like August Forel or Emil Kraepelin.
