The origins of our society<\/h5>

Our society traces its origins back to 1976, when Prof. Dr. K. Semm (1927\u20132003) of Germany and Prof. Dr. R. Contamin of France established the German-French Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics in Munich.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Society Goals and Activities<\/h5>

The aim of this society was to further develop the many facets of our field\u2014including gynecology, obstetrics, reproductive medicine, and urogynecology\u2014and to foster a strong bond between the professional societies in Germany and France. In the years that followed, national and international scientific meetings of the German-French Society were regularly held as part of national and international congresses. Thanks to the significant support that could still be provided by the pharmaceutical industry at the time, it was also possible to organize independent congresses under the direction of the German-French Society. The older members of the society still vividly remember these events\u2014held repeatedly in Paris, Lyon, Berlin, and Munich\u2014not only for their professional value but also for the close cultural and, above all, personal connections that were established. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1986: 10th Anniversary and the Commemorative Medal<\/span><\/h5>

On the occasion of the Society\u2019s 10th anniversary in 1986, Prof. Semm commissioned the creation of a commemorative medal, which in the following years was awarded to distinguished members and supporters of the Society. In the years that followed, the Society continued to participate regularly in scientific events within our field. During this period, Prof. Dr. L. Mettler from Kiel assumed leadership of the Society and, with great dedication, guided it into the next decade. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

2000: Expansion into the European Society (SELFAGO)<\/h5>

In 2000, during a successful and memorable congress in Nice, the presidency of the Society was taken over by Prof. Dr. R. Druckmann for France and Prof. Dr. A. Schindler (1936\u20132024) for Germany. Under their leadership, the Society decided to extend its activities to the German-French-speaking regions across Europe. This marked the transformation of the German-French Society into the European Society of German-French Language for Gynecology and Obstetrics (SELFAGO, 2000). Alongside regular participation in national congresses in cities such as Stuttgart, Berlin, and Munich, the Society also became increasingly active at international meetings in Basel, Vienna, Barcelona, Monaco, Florence, and Dublin\u2014thanks to the strong commitment of its presidents. Many monographs and original papers from this period were based on data presented at these events and were published in recognized scientific journals. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Dedication of the Treasurers<\/h5>

Due to political regulations concerning the acquisition of third-party funding for congress events, it became increasingly difficult in subsequent years to secure financing for these meetings. It is therefore a great merit of the Society\u2019s long-standing treasurer, Dr. K. B\u00fchler (1950\u20132023), that through his skill, patience, and dedicated effort, he was able to maintain the Society\u2019s financial stability at a solid level. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
