In 1883, at the some time as Emil Kraepelin Oskar Panizza was a resident in Munich at the psychiatric hospital "Oberbayerische Kreisirrenonstalt". Participating in Bernhard von Gudden's famous degeneration studies Panizza experienced psychotic episodes. He felt as if his brain was cut into slices and watched under a microscope. Panizzo tried to cope with his psychotic episodes by publishing literary works. Most of this work was confiscated, and due to his "Love-Council" Panizza was sentenced to prison for one year. Released in 1896 Panizza went to Switzerland and become a publisher. There, Panizza outlined a concept of a psychistic psychiatry anticipating important ideas of the antipsychiatry movement of the 1960-70s. In 1898 Panizza was deported from Switzerland. In Paris, he felt persecuted by the German Emperor Wilhelm II and tried to fight him by his poetry. Panizza was charged with lese-majeste due to his work the "Parisiana". He finally gave himself up to the German authorities. Pack in Munich in the psychiatric hospital diagnosis of a "Paranoia" was mode. Thereafter, Panizzo lived again in Paris suffering from Capgras-Syndrome, feeling tortured by acoustic, olfactory and coenaesthetic hallucinations. In 1904 Panizza fled from Paris to the Munich psychiatric hospital where Kraepelin had become chief of department in 1903. Emil Kraepelin used Oskar Panizza's history as a case report to illustrate his concept of "Paraphrenias" in the "Introduction in Psychiatric Clinics". After 1905 Panizza lived incapacitated in Bayreuth where he suffered from stroke and died in 1921. Life and work of Oskar Panizza are described. The importance of his familiarity with Bernhard van Gudden and Emil Kraepelin at the "Oberbayerische Kreisirrenanstalt" is pointed out. The influence of Oskar Panizza for Kraepelin's concept of "Paraphrenia" is emphasized.
