Behring's Personal Papers -- Behring's Lives. The article wants to show the connection between the enriched personal papers of Emil von Behring (1854--1917) in the Behring archives in Marburg (established in 1927) and the history of the first biography of the scientist, which was published by Heinz Zeiss and Richard Bieling during Nazi era in 1940. One focus is placed on Behring's widow Else von Behring (1876--1936), who was active in arranging Behring's papers in proper order and in searching a biographer of her husband's life. The paper also presents new discoveries from the Behring Works archives in Marburg which show Behring -- founder of the serum therapy and first winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1901 -- as an entrepreneur who was fighting for control and influence in the field of science and of business: maybe another narration of Behring's life.
