„What I see or hear in the treatment or even outside the treatment in the lives of the people, I will, as far as one can not divulge, conceal and regard as a secret,“ is the oath of the Greek physician Hippocrates of Kos (um 460 to 370 BC).
The oath of the medical commitment is representative of the confidentiality of certain professional groups, entrusted to third parties. In the Penal Code (StGB) the violation of private secrets is regulated by criminal law.
