Abstract

Rudolf Virchow died 100 years ago. The author summarizes the multifaceted personality of this man who so profoundly influenced the shaping of contemporary surgical and experimental pathology and played an important role in designing the social structure of modern Germany. Goethe's influence in the development of 19th century morphology is also suggested.
