Abstract
Sketchy biographies of 4 German neurosurgeons (Krause, Foerster, Stieda, Tönnis) demonstrate how neurosurgery in Germany rapidly developed and flourished from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the thirties. However, the dictatorship of Hitler, racial persecution, and the Second World War disturbed this promising development markedly and the aftermath was prolonged. It took many years to restore disrupted international relations and to regain the ability to compete in the scientific field.
