This short report presents new information on Carl Ludwig's move from Zurich to the chair of physiology in Vienna and the 10 years he spent here and characterizes some of his contributions to experimentation methodology in working with isolated organs. Two up to now unknown documents concerning his call to the chair of physiology and zoology at the Josephs Academy, a military academy; have been found in the Public Record Offices in Vienna: a secret service report and the letter of Ludwig with his conditions for accepting the appointment. Some characteristic sections are cited. The time in Vienna between 1855 and 1865 is depicted against the background of political processes in Europe after the 1848 revolution. Ludwig's and his pupils' work with isolated organs is analysed briefly with some examples, especially relating to heart and kidney and a kymographion shown with a 20-channel registration module. The first "heart-lung machine" is discussed.
本简短报告介绍了卡尔·路德维希从苏黎世迁至维也纳担任生理学教授以及他在此度过的10年的新信息，并阐述了他在离体器官实验方法方面的一些贡献。现已在维也纳公共档案局发现两份此前不为人知的文件，涉及他被约瑟夫学院（一所军事学院）聘为生理学和动物学教授一事：一份特工报告以及路德维希接受任命的附带条件的信件。文中引用了一些具有代表性的段落。1855年至1865年期间路德维希在维也纳的经历以1848年革命后欧洲的政治进程为背景进行了描述。文中通过一些实例简要分析了路德维希及其学生在离体器官方面的研究工作，尤其涉及心脏和肾脏，并展示了配有20通道记录模块的记纹鼓。文中还讨论了第一台“心肺机”。
