Wilhelm Christian Jakob Karl Weygandt (30 September 1870 in Wiesbaden – 22 January 1939) was a German psychiatrist. From 1908-1934, he was director of the insane asylum Staatskrankenanstalt Friedrichsberg in Hamburg, and from 1919-1934 professor of Psychiatry at the newly founded University of Hamburg. He was a Nazi, a racist thinker, and condemned Expressionism and other modern art forms as "degenerate art."[1]
In 1901 he published his Atlas und Grundriss der Psychiatrie, which was later used by Leopold Szondi as the source for most of the photographs of the Szondi test.[2][3][4]
