The skin is our largest organ, it protects our body from external influences. It can be light or dark, have freckles or spots. Dr. Eva Moennig, paediatrician and researcher at the MHH Clinical Department of Dermatology, Allergy and Venerology, explains what makes our skin so special and strong and how important it is for our health in her lecture for the KinderUniHannover (KUH) "Das Haut dich um: What our largest organ can do!" on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 5:15 p.m. in Lecture Hall F at Hannover Medical School (MHH).

How does our skin react, why does it become wrinkly?

How does our skin react when we get cold or hot? Why does it become wrinkled when we spend a long time in water? What can we do about sunburn, neurodermatitis or inflammation? And: How can you best protect and Nursing your skin? Girls and boys aged eight to 12 will get answers to all these questions in the lecture. Registration is not required and attendance is free of charge.
