Abstract
Berlin neurologist and neurohistologist Max Bielschowsky counts among the most innovative microanatomical researchers at the beginning of the twentieth century. Although being quite underrated in the history of neurology today, Bielschowsky contributed substantially to the understanding of neurohereditary pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsonism, and Huntington’s chorea, as well as the assessment of structural changes in several movement disorders. Working with other leading research neurologists, such as Oskar and Cecile Vogt or Korbinian Brodmann at the newly founded Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research in Berlin-Buch, he also pioneered neurohistological work on de- and regeneration processes in the Central Nervous System along with new morphological definitions of “nervous trauma.”

From 1896 to 1904, Bielschowsky joined one of the most prominent research neurologists, Emanuel Mendel (1839–1907), who interested him in the clinical applications of neuropathological work [4]
Bielschowsky assumed the position of a research associate of Oscar Vogt (1870–1959) [8], the neuropathologist and inaugural director of the Berlin Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research, but in 1933, Bielschowsky lost his academic headship of the neuropathology department due to the inauguration of the Nazi’s anti-Semitic laws
