["On the abdominal wall visible limit between the uterine body and cervix in labor". In memory of Ludwig Bandl (100th anniversary of his death)].
Ludwig Bandl, who is nearly forgotten today, was one of the most active gynaecologists in the 70s and 80s of the last century. We owe him the observation and the description of the uterine contraction ring at birth. After a promising start of his career in Vienna he was professor in Prague for only 20 days. He died mentally ill in Döbling, Vienna in 1892.
