Bernhard Solger

He studied medicine at the Universities of Erlangen, Würzburg, Tübingen and Munich. During the Franco-Prussian War, he served as a doctor in a field hospital. In 1872 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Würzburg, later working as an assistant at the University of Breslau (1875). Beginning in 1877, he worked as a prosector at the University of Halle, where in 1882 he gained an associate professorship. In 1886, he was appointed professor of anatomy at the University of Greifswald.[1] In 1904 he settled in the city of Neisse as a dermatologist.[2]

Known for his research in the field of cellular anatomy, he made valuable contributions in his studies of chromatophores (pigment cells).[3][4]
