Founded by Danzig doctors in 1612 Collegium Medicum can be considered the first Chamber of Physicians and Dentists in the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. Its aim and objective was representing the interests of the medical pro-fession and specialist training. The medical section of The Danzig Research Society (Danziger Naturfor-schende Gesellschaft) established in 1743, was transformed into Doctors’ Society (Arztlicher Verein zu Danzig) on November 29, 1876. On May 25, 1887 Chambers of Physicians and Dentists were created in all subdivisions of the Kingdom of Prussia. Abraham Lissauer (1832–1908), a German physician and anthropologist be-came the first president of the Chamber of Physicians and Dentists of West Prussia located in Danzig. The Chamber of Physicians and Dentists in the Free City of Danzig was reactivated in 1925.
