'III. Internationaler Congress für Psychologie' in München


Explanation:
If it is the one from 1896 :-)

IMO you could either use the name (with inverted commas and original spelling), or the term (dritter internationaler Kongress für Psychologie in München -- with modern spelling, and without capitalization).

See p. 494 in the first ref below
Or in the second ref: Sitzungsberichte. Vom III. internationalen Congress für Psychologie in München, 4.-7. August 1896.
Mschr Psychiat Neurol 1897;1:67-72 (DOI:10.1159/000228939)

  -> Thank you, Helen :-)
agree  MMUlr: Nachdem, was wir vom Asker wissen (nicht so viel ... z.B. zum Zeitraum?), ist dies die beste Antwort. Einen anderen Hinweis auf einen "dritten" Kongress konnte ich nicht finden.
