Background: This chronology aims to provide an overview of the views on nymphomania in the history of German academic psychiatry over the past 200 years.

Methods: A cursory review of the most influential German-language psychiatric textbooks of the respective period was conducted in chronological continuity. Relevant passages were identified, analyzed in detail and compared with each other, taking the historical context into account.
