German Epilepsy Museum, Medical museum in Kork, Kehl, Germany.
The German Epilepsy Museum is a medical collection in Kork, Kehl, containing over 500 objects displayed across six rooms. The exhibition traces developments in diagnostic methods and treatments while exploring how medical research on epilepsy has evolved.
The German Epilepsy Museum was founded in 1998 by the neuropediatrician and epileptologist Hansjörg Schneble together with his son Hans-Martin, who helped build it. It opened in Kork, near the Kork Epilepsy Center, and in 2005 received the Sibylle-Ried Prize of the Stiftung Michael.
The museum displays artwork created by people living with epilepsy, offering a window into how the condition shapes personal expression. These pieces show the creative perspectives of those affected by the disorder.
The museum sits next to the Epilepsy Center Kork and welcomes visitors on specific days, with guided tours available by request. Coming with a group or booking ahead helps you get a more detailed experience with staff from the center.
The museum's scientific library holds 300 works from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, assembled by founder Hansjörg Schneble. In 2005 the museum received the Sibylle-Ried Prize from the Michael Foundation.
