Abstract
Working as a retiring myopathologist and an active myopathologist in the “Rudolf Virchow House” 200 years after Rudolf Virchow's (1821–1902) birth who reigned German and indirectly European pathology for some 50 years, i.e. the second half of the 19th century, we felt obliged to provide a small share of ours to the Rudolf Virchow anniversary: a brief survey of Rudolf Virchow's contribution to myopathology. In Virchow's times, neuropathology and its subspecialty myopathology did not separately exist within the canon of medical specialties, but was firmly integrated in Anatomic Pathology. Hence, in Berlin where Virchow was Chair of Pathology at the Charité Hospital from 1856 to 1902, its flowering autopsy service could have provided ample postmortem specimens of myopathology.
