AbstractThe history of the Pathologic-anatomical Collection in the Fools Tower dates back to the eighteenth century. After a brief summery of the events leading to the creation of the museum, the life and work of Lorenz Biermayer (1778-1843) is examined. The first autopsy records from 1817 can be traced back to him and he was an important figure in the founding of the medical collection which still exists today. His period of office (1812-1829), especially the museum catalog and its publications started by him, are described. Finally, all of Biermayer's successors are briefly outlined.
