A brief and personalized historical review that describes the merger of macromolecular and supramolecular chemistry to generate the new field of bioinspired synthesis of complex systems is presented. Historical scientific events that took place during the days of Hermann Staudinger and after and influenced these developments as well as the experience of the author during his stays at the Hermann Staudinger House that hosts the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry from the University of Freiburg are also part of this review.
