[A historical skull specimen in Leipheim with evidence of penetrating injury].
Report on a skull, which was found in a dredged pit together with 20 incomplete skeletons. There were two sharp-edged lesions without signs of regeneration, probable caused by a sharp object like a sword. Relics found at the scene led to the presumption, that the skull belonged to a victim of peasant's war, which happened in the early 16th century. Details referring to the mechanism of the injury are analyzed as well as the dating and the estimation of the subject's age.
