title: [Albert Wiedmann - his personality and work and his contribution to the development of Dermatology in Vienna after World War II (author's transl)].
abstract: The contribution of Albert Wiedmann (1901 to 1970) towards the development of the Viennese Dermatological School are evaluated. The following main points of interest can be focused out of a large number of scientific papers; investigations in the field of venerology, innervation and nutrition of the skin (concept of the "neuro-hormonal cells"), phlebology and the relationship between dermatological disorders and internal medical diseases. His outstanding abilities as a researcher, tutor and physician were matched by his great talents for organisation and qualities of leadership as chief of the 2nd Department of Dermatology, University of Vienna, 1946 to 1970.
