[The 100th anniversary of neurosurgery in Halle].
The habilitation thesis of Fedor Krause on an neurosurgical subject of March 9th, 1887, in Halle can be considered to be the beginning of a scientifically practiced neurosurgery in Halle. Gustav von Bramann continued this tradition at the university until 1913. His successors Schmieden, Voelker and Wagner showed less interest, so that it finally was Alexander Stieda who led neurosurgery to an new climax at the municipal hospitals Weidenplan in the period from 1919 to 1950. After the Second World War the new constitution of neurosurgery was started at the Surgical University Clinic under the direction of Budde, Mörl, and Schober. When in 1970 it became a special department which existed until 1974 under the direction of Kurt Hübner, later-on Dieter Tertsch, the basic condition of a clearly defined efficient discipline was provided.
