[VEB Gustav Fischer Verlag Jena and its journal Anatomischer Anzeiger (author's transl)].

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the VEB Gustav Fischer Verlag Jena it is perhaps appropriate to pay tribute to the extraordinary merit due to this firm for the publication of the Anatomischer Anzeiger established by Karl von Bardeleben in 1886. This contribution shows that the viability and great international regard enjoyed by the journal are due not only to the advanced ideas upon which it was based but also to the publishing spirit exhibited by the original publisher, Gustav Fischer. The Anatomischer Anzeiger will retain its international character in future and will remain a versatile anatomical journal publishing profound and scientifically stimulating papers in all fields of anatomy.

[The mechanisms of fracture in the human skull under static loads while still covered by tissue (author's transl)].

Static compression tests were undertaken on 40 human skulls while still covered by tissue. The compression tests were performed on the median sagittal part of the calotte. It was found that the skull, like the tubular bones, is fully elastic. Dissection revealed considerably more fractures, particularly in the basal region, than were shown on x-ray pictures (50%). With regard to the mechanisms of fracture, Fig. 2 shows that fractures occur only while the last third of the load is being applied. The following parameters were determined: maximum stress upon fracture, strain, elongation, elasticity module and elasticity coefficient.
