Abstract
The knowledge of the historical development of surgery including its increasing specialization is important for our efforts to preserve the unity of surgery. In the past distinguished surgeons essentially influenced the progress of surgery. The list of the directors of the surgical department of the Halle university hospital in the last 150 years with the outstanding Richard von Volkmann is an excellent example for this influence and will be presented here.
