abstract: A biography is presented in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the death of Max Wilms, whose name is almost exclusively known in association with the mixed tissue tumours of the kidney. Describing his curriculum vitae, we intended to place particular emphasis on the significance of his surgical work at the University of Heidelberg.
