title: [Ernst Friedrich Gurlt (1794-1882)].
abstract: Ernst Friedrich Gurlt (1794-1882) is the founder of the comparative veterinary anatomy on a solid scientific basis. The integration of the human being into the comparative study and the continuous linkage between human anatomy and veterinary anatomy feature him in the same time as a distinguished pioneer of the comparative anatomy. Beside this, Gurlt has merits in physiology and post mortem anatomy. This publication contains a short life story and a laudation of the work of Ernst Friedrich Gurlt, which was active at the Veterinary School at Berlin more than a half century, from 1819 to 1870.
