Abstract

The article is devoted to the history of the emergence and functioning of departmental medical statistics in the German states in 1800-1871. The authors, on the basis of the analysis of German historiography, identify main actors, goals, methods of administration and representation of health statistics. Starting from the specifics of German terminology concerning the umbrella term "medical statistics" ("medizinische Statistik", "Medizinalstatistik", "sanitäre Statistik", "Gesundheitsstatistik"), the authors elaborate in detail on the cases of the Bavarian and Prussian kingdoms. By the beginning of the XIX century, the mechanisms of building modern state were started up in these countries. In its functioning, it was primarily based on statistical surveys of people and territories. The gradual institutionalization of medical statistics, its complexification and enhancement are considered in the context of state bureaucratic system reforming. The analysis of historical research results permitted to generate cumulative picture of becoming and development of medical statistics in Bavaria and Prussia. The study of transformation of reporting forms allowed to see how the bureaucratic institutions, by means of statistical methods, sought to rate the "death" and "health" of population.
