The Institute for Sexual Science was a German research clinic and medical practice that operated from 1919 to 1933 in Berlin. The first sexology institute in the world, it was established by German physicians Magnus Hirschfeld, Arthur Kronfeld, and Friedrich Wertheim. It employed counselors, physicians, and specialists in sex research and sex education and was highly sought after for Genitalumwandlung, the German word for the feminizing genital surgery carried out by the facilities’ surgeons.
