Wilhelm Waldeyer was one of the most important anatomists of his time. The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of his death. His name not only lives on in terms such as "Waldeyer's pharyngeal ring" or "Waldeyer's fascia," he also coined the terms "neuron" and "chromosome." He produced monumental monographies such as "The Pelvis" and "Ovary and Egg". Waldeyer's legacy is a large body of lifetime work that continues to impress to this day. However, he also published works that today would be described as racist. His view of a woman's role was and is also controversial. Nevertheless, reading his autobiography () today is still beneficial because it vividly illustrates the academic life and a scholarly existence of that era.
威廉·瓦尔德耶尔是他那个时代最重要的解剖学家之一。2021年是他逝世100周年。他的名字不仅留存于诸如“瓦尔德耶尔咽环”或“瓦尔德耶尔筋膜”等术语中,他还创造了“神经元”和“染色体”这两个术语。他撰写了诸如《骨盆》和《卵巢与卵子》等具有里程碑意义的专著。瓦尔德耶尔的遗产是他一生的大量著作,至今仍令人印象深刻。然而,他也发表过在今天会被描述为种族主义的作品。他对女性角色的看法过去和现在都存在争议。尽管如此,今天阅读他的自传仍然有益,因为它生动地展现了那个时代的学术生活和学术生涯。
