[Hans Schliack (1919 - 2008): a personal and professional appraisal].
Hans Schliack (1919 -2008) was one of the prominent post war neurologists who acted successfully for the emancipation of clinical neurology in the former western part of Berlin and Germany. His scientific work was destined to the theory of segments (dermatomes, myotomes, zones of Head, initially with Karl Hansen in Lübeck), sweat disturbances in neurological disorders and peripheral nerve lesions. The latter issue led - in cooperation with Marco Mumenthaler - to the textbook, which held its leading standard since its first edition in 1965. Schliack's founding editorship of the purely neurological journal "Aktuelle Neurologie" since 1974, his author- and editorship of neurological textbooks and his teaching of numerous coworkers in Berlin and Hannover stress his outstanding role over nearly five decades.
