Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein (1831-1917), Queen Victoria's son in law married with Princess Helena. By Franz Xaver Winterhalter.

"While the war raged in Europe, psychiatrist Arild Faurbye, together with three colleagues, introduced electro-convulsive therapy at Bispebjerg Hospital’s Psychiatric Department in Copenhagen. Faurbye had been in the audience at Cerletti and Bini’s lecture at the congress, where he had understood the interest in the new treatment. Shortly after, he employed a Danish civil engineer to construct an electroshock device based on the Italian example and received an experimental device with a transformer that could deliver a voltage from 0 to 150 volts. The shock was given as an alternating current via two electrodes, which consisted of two zinc plates of 4 × 5.5 cm with gauze that was smeared with a glycerine ointment and fastened using a rubber band around the patient’s head.

Having received the device, the first treatment at Bispebjerg Hospital was performed on 15 November 1940, and in the following two months 200 electro-convulsive treatments were given to 26 patients. In the first attempts, Faurbye and three other psychiatrists from Bispebjerg Hospital noted in the patients’ records that there were improvements in a little under half of the patients, but they did not report of actual recoveries. The results were assessed based on experiences with Cardiazol shock therapy. At Bispebjerg, the doctors concluded that “all in all it appears to us that electro-convulsive therapy has the same effect as Cardiazol and is not subject to many of the Cardiazol’s drawbacks.”

In the Directorate for the State’s Psychiatric Hospitals, the new treatment method was noticed by the director, Georg Brøchner-Mortensen, who in the beginning of 1941 contacted chief physician Max Schmidt from Augustenborg Psychiatric Hospital. The directorate’s director wanted to hear Schmidt’s assessment of the new treatment, since he knew that two doctors from Augustenborg had previously visited Bispebjerg Hospital to observe the electro-convulsive therapy.

In his reply, Schmidt highlighted that there appeared to be certain advantages with electroshock but that with each new treatment there was always an associated risk that in “the case at hand could not easily be over-looked.” The existing knowledge on the effect of electricity on the human body could not be considered to be exhaustive, and there had been “an inexplicable death in connection with the treatment” at Bispebjerg.Hospital. Since he at the same time found that the Cardiazol treatment in Augustenborg worked well, and since he “did not like the matter of death,” he had refrained from introducing electroshock therapy.

Financial circumstances had also contributed to Max Schmidt’s reluctance, and he had assessed that it was not possible to make any savings by using electro-convulsive therapy instead of Cardiazol. But after Brøchner-Mortensen’s enquiry, he had begun to calculate the costs again and had reached the conclusion that electroshock would be cheaper in the long run. In his letter, he therefore ultimately recommended for electroshock therapy to be thoroughly tested in at least one of the state psychiatric hospitals.

Max Schmidt—after applying a great deal of pressure himself—was assigned the task by the Directorate of the State Mental Hospitals, and on 3 October 1941 he was able to start the first test of the treatment. Thereafter, he kept the Directorate informed of the progress, and in his letters, he was able to report good results. Electro-convulsive therapy was thought to be just as effective as Cardiazol, induced less angst in the patients and caused slightly fewer physical injuries. In relation to Cardiazol, there was also “a considerable time-saving,” since, for restless patients, it was not necessary to have “a significant number of care workers to strap down the patient” and the electroshock could be carried out before the patient was “aware of what lay ahead.” Therefore, in the beginning of 1942, Max Schmidt warmly supported the new treatment and suggested to the Directorate that the other hospitals should also benefit from it.

At a chief physician meeting on 27 January 1942, Schmidt presented electroshock therapy to the other senior consultants from the state mental hospitals, and everyone was very positive regarding the new method. After the meeting, when the Directorate’s director was willing to provide money for the treatment, all the chief physicians wanted two or three electroshock devices available at their hospitals. Comprehensive electrical work was however needed so that all the hospitals were able to use the Swedish devices that had been chosen for the treatment. Therefore, the Directorate applied for additional funding, which was granted by the Ministry of Finance on 4 March 1943. Subsequently, electro-convulsive therapy could take its place in all the state psychiatric hospitals.

Just like the previous physical treatment methods, electroshock therapy quickly became popular among psychiatrists at the psychiatric hospitals, and it also received a warm welcome among the general public. The treatment was praised by popular magazines such as Billed-Bladet, which in 1943 visited Augustenborg Mental Hospital and received a demonstration of electroshock therapy as the latest breakthrough in psychiatry. And Danish newspaper readers were also informed of the new treatment. In the newspapers, electro-convulsive therapy was portrayed positively, even though the journalists also discovered that, as a treatment, electric shocks were rather dramatic in nature.

However, even when the journalists witnessed electroshock therapy— and did not simply refer to doctors’ statements—they were not negative regarding the treatment (the press’ critical attitude towards electroconvulsive therapy first came later). As was the case with a journalist in May 1950, the press occasionally witnessed demonstrations in electro-convulsive therapy at state mental hospitals. That year, the journalist had been given permission to be present at the shock therapy on one of the departments at psychiatric hospital in Middelfart and in a detailed account described the process surrounding the treatment in the newspaper Fyns Social-Demokrat:

The midday siren rang out from the top of the kitchen building, but the ambulatory patients return only reluctantly from the arts and crafts rooms. They know that the department is at the other end, because it is shock day! In the long corridor, no nurses are to be seen. They are all inside to assist on the shock wards – the two small rooms that have been cleared, making six patients homeless until late in the afternoon. At a long table, a number of patients are sitting and eating lunch. Others are waiting to talk to the doctor. Those who will have shock treatment are in their night clothes with a blanket over them. If they have not been lethargic before, then they are now completely empty in the eyes after a restless night and a morning’s anxious wait – all on an empty stomach. (...) The door to the office springs open and a whole procession, with doctors leading the way, turns in to one of the shock wards. At the end, the shock device is rolled in. And the door is shut. The treatment happens as if it is on a conveyor belt. The first patient is treated in the bed by the window, a screen in front, the next patient is called in, another screen in front – but when number three comes to the door it can well be that the first patient by the window has woken up after the shock. And it is not nice to lie there after a shock and hear another patient’s unconscious screams from the seizures. It is not nice at all ... Even at the lunch table out in the corridor, one cannot escape the seizure screams. The newly arrived stare terrified at the treated patients, who are supported by nurses as they are led back to their own beds. They do not know that these exhausted, unwell people will most often laugh and talk merrily by the evening. Nonetheless, this is the most natural. The shock therapy can seem like a complete miracle.

The journalist concluded the article, entitled “Electric shock can lead the mentally ill back to life,” by saying that it “is really a fact that psychiatric hospitals the world over are able to send several hundred patients home cured every year – only because of a couple of electrodes’ miraculous effect."

Vortragsreihe Plan N – Beispielhaftes Nachhaltiges Bauen in Deutschland | Veranstaltung 5

Thema: Klimaangepasste Freiräume

Referentin: Prof. Dr. Rieke Hansen

Stadtgrün ist Symbol und Hoffnungsträger für die klimaangepasste Stadt. Damit Bäume, Böden und krautige Pflanzen ihre Potenziale zur Bewältigung der Klimawandelfolgen voll und dauerhaft ent falten können, bedarf es einer vorausschauenden und an ökologischen Prinzipien orientierten Freiraumplanung und -gestaltung. Im „Sponge Garden“ in Rotterdam testet man unterschiedliche Pflanzungen, Bodenarten und Substratmischungen auf ihre Versickerungsleistung. Der „Augustenborg Botanical Roof Garden“ des Scandinavian Green Roof Institute in Malmö wird genutzt, um verschiedene Gründachtypen zu erforschen und zu präsentieren, darunter auch solche, die die Biodiversität fördern.

Anhand solcher Beispiele werden Wege zu einer lokal angepassten multifunktionalen Freiraumplanung aufgezeigt, die den Klimawandel und weitere drängende Herausforderungen wie den Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt adressieren.

Dr. Rieke Hansen ist Professorin für Freiraumplanung und ökologische Stadtentwicklung an der Hochschule Geisenheim. Sie erforscht und entwickelt Konzepte zur integrierten Stadt- und Freiraumplanung wie urbane grüne Infrastruktur und natur-basierte Lösungen.

[politirapporten]

AUGUSTENBORG: Syd- og Sønderjyllands Politi modtog søndag den 1. januar 2023 klokken 00.35 en anmeldelse om voldtægt af en ung kvinde begået i området omkring Palævej i Augustenborg i Sønderborg Kommune. Området blev efterfølgende afspærret og afsøgt med hundepatruljer for at finde spor på gerningsstedet, ligesom politiet iværksatte en massiv efterforskning for at finde frem til gerningsmanden. Syd- og Sønderjyllands Politi har i dag klokken 11.20 anholdt en 30-årig mand fra lokalområdet og sigtet ham for voldtægt. Anklagemyndigheden skal nu tage stilling til, om der er grundlag for fremstilling i et grundlovsforhør. Syd- og Sønderjyllands Politi kan i øjeblikket - af hensyn til den fortsatte efterforskning - ikke oplyse yderligere til offentligheden om hændelsen.

I'm watching Grænseland which is a docu-series about the Schleswig-Holstein question and they managed to cast an actor who looks like Christian VIII as Christian August II and vice versa 💀💀💀
