Short Description: "Adolph Albrecht Erlenmeyer (11 July 1822 – 9 August 1877) was a German physician and psychiatrist born in Wiesbaden.

He studied medicine in Marburg, Bonn and Berlin. At the University of Bonn he studied under surgeon Karl Wilhelm Wutzer (1789–1863), and after receiving his doctorate from the University of Berlin, he was an assistant to psychiatrist Carl Wigand Maximilian Jacobi (1777–1858) at the asylum in Siegburg. As a young man, Erlenmeyer was influenced by Jacobi´s somatic approach to psychiatry, and felt that there needed to be a close unity of psychiatry and neurology.

In 1848 he opened a private asylum in Bendorf bei Koblenz that was to become known as Asyl für Gehirn- und Nervenkranke. During the ensuing years the facility expanded, eventually having a department of neurology (1866) and an "agricultural colony" called Albrechtshöhe (1867)." - (en.wikipedia.org 19.07.2020)
