title: [A new orientation in surgical education in Berlin at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century].
abstract: The new approach to surgical education is described by means of the educational programmes at the turn of the 18th to 19th century in Berlin. The typical authorities of academic medicine with naturalphilosophical views at the Charité of the 18th century a few decades later were opposed by academical educated surgeons and lecturers, who introduced the era of the scientifically oriented surgery by practical exercises, independent autopsies, scientific experiments and libraries. Thus, in Berlin the virtual development of the surgical medicine started - a development from a manual to a scientific discipline.
