Origins and early history

In mid-19th century German-speaking parts of Europe, the specialties of venereology and dermatology were beginning to be associated with each other, particularly as syphilis presented with signs and symptoms in skin. As a result, in 1869, the Austrian dermatologists Heinrich Auspitz and Philipp Josef Pick established the ''Archiv für Dermatologie und Syphilis''. A significant amount of work involved syphilis so it was included in the title. It was published in German, in Prague. In 1874 it changed to being published four times a year under the name ''Vierteljahresschrift für Dermatologie und Syphilis'', and returned to its original name in 1889. Auspitz and Pick both co-edited the journal until Auspitz's death in 1886, after which Pick carried on with it. Other early co-editors included Albert Neisser. The Japanese dermatologist Keizo Dohi published his first paper in the journal in German.

Twentieth century

Springer-Verlag took over the journal's publishing in 1921, when it became the '. For the next 52 years it was an official publication for the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft. Issues were suspended in 1944 after Volume 185. Its publication recommenced in 1948 with Volume 186, its editors then being Erich Hoffmann, Georg Alexander Rost, and Fritz Hussels.

By the mid-1950s, following the widespread availability of penicillin to treat syphilis, the disease appeared to be under control and considered by dermatologists to no longer be a concern. Subsequently, dermatologists found a way of separating themselves from sexually transmitted infections and the unpopular specialty of venereology. In 1955, links to sexually transmitted infection including syphilis were dropped from the titles of several journals including the ', which was renamed '. In the same year the ''American Medical Association (AMA) Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology'' also dropped syphilis and became '' AMA Archives of Dermatology'', and the ''Indian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology'' removed venerology from its title to form the ''Indian Journal of Dermatology''.

Between 1970 and 1975 the journal was renamed the '. Enno Christophers became its editor in 1971 and continued in that post when in 1975 the journal became the ''Archives of Dermatological Research''.
