Albert Thierfelder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinand Albert Thierfelder (12 December 1842 – 22 January 1908) was a German pathologist born in Meissen. He was the son of city physician (Stadtphysikus) Johann Gottlieb Thierfelder [de] (1799–1867), and was a younger brother to internist Theodor Thierfelder (1824–1904).

He studied medicine at the University of Rostock and University of Leipzig, earning his doctorate in 1870 with a dissertation on sweat gland adenoma, Ein Fall von Schweissdrüsen-Adenom. He spent several years as an assistant at the institute of pathology in Leipzig, and from 1876 to 1908 was a full professor of anatomic pathology in Rostock.[1] One of his better known assistants in Rostock was pathologist Otto Lubarsch (1860–1934).[2]

In 1884/85 he was chairman of Naturforschenden Gesellschaft (Natural History Society of Rostock).[1]

He was the author of Atlas der Pathologischen Histologie (Atlas of pathological histology), published in seven parts from 1872 to 1881:

  • 1 Lfg. "Pathologische Histologie der Luftwege und der Lunge". 1872.
