August Karl Gustav Bier introduced two important techniques in regional block: intravenous regional block and subarachnoid block, widely used nowadays. Since the first one celebrates its 100th anniversary and the second its 110th anniversary, it is only fair that we pay homage to this extraordinary physician who created them.
This report describes his family, school, academic course, and medical residency data, professional and university activities, personality, retirement, and death of A. K. G. Bier. It describes his countless contributions to Medicine and to Anesthesiology in particular. It discusses his research on intravenous regional block, many of them still valid nowadays or not completely explained. It mentions his initial studies and the controversies on his role in the creation of spinal block. It tells the experiences he had in both World Wars. It also mentions the great contributions of Bier to culture, sports, physical education and, especially, to ecology when he created the famous Sauen Forest. Finally, the well deserved honors he received in his home country and in other countries are mentioned.
A. K. G. Bier created and introduced two notable and still current methods of regional blocks in Anesthesiology and was a great defender of the preservation of the environment. Therefore, since this year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of intravenous regional block, his biography deserves to be told as a tribute to this important German physician.
奥古斯特·卡尔·古斯塔夫·比尔在区域阻滞方面引入了两项重要技术：静脉区域阻滞和蛛网膜下腔阻滞，如今仍被广泛使用。由于前者迎来了其诞生100周年，后者迎来了其诞生110周年，我们向创造了它们的这位杰出医生致敬是理所应当的。
本报告描述了A.K.G.比尔的家庭、求学经历、学术课程、住院医师培训数据、专业及大学活动、性格、退休及去世情况。它描述了他对医学，尤其是对麻醉学的无数贡献。讨论了他对静脉区域阻滞的研究，其中许多至今仍然有效或尚未得到完全解释。提到了他的初步研究以及关于他在脊髓阻滞创建中所起作用的争议。讲述了他在两次世界大战中的经历。还提到了比尔在创建著名的绍恩森林时对文化、体育、体育教育，尤其是对生态的巨大贡献。最后，提到了他在本国和其他国家所获得的当之无愧的荣誉。
A.K.G.比尔在麻醉学领域创造并引入了两种显著且仍在使用的区域阻滞方法，并且是环境保护的坚定捍卫者。因此，鉴于今年我们庆祝静脉区域阻滞诞生100周年，讲述他的生平事迹以向这位重要的德国医生致敬是值得的。
