BIOGRAPHY

Moog was the pseudonym assigned to Peter Meyer by a German psychiatrist to protect the identity of his patient. Other than the fact that he was a mental patient diagnosed with schizophrenia, little is known about him. Meyer was born in 1871 or 1872 in Bütgenbach in Alsace and died in the Eikelborn asylum in Lippstadt in 1930. His father was a farmer. Meyer himself worked as a waiter and innkeeper, married, and in 1902 fathered a child. His wife died in 1907. Two years later he was committed to a mental hospital in Düren; he was then transferred to Eikelborn, where he spent the rest of his life.
