title: [Neils Stensen (1638-1686) in the medicine of his era].
abstract: The 350th anniversary of the birth of Niels Stensen (1638 to 1686) gave rise for the memory of a personality representative for the palmy days of the anatomy of the 17th century. Stensen's merits concerning the basic research which are undisputable up to now comprised the total complex of anatomy and embryology. Quite apart from the discussion about priority not only the contributions elaborated but also the ideas of the Danish anatomist pointing out into future were of immense importance at long sight.
