PURPOSE: Kaspar Friedrich Wolff and Johannes Petrus Müller, German physicians in the 18th and 19th centuries, respectively, contributed significantly to the study of the biological sciences, specifically embryology and the development of the genitourinary tract. Their eponyms are a part of daily conversation in medical education, practice and research. We reviewed their lives and works. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Commentaries on the works of these scientists as well as available English translations of their works were analyzed. RESULTS: Wolff and Müller were pioneers in their fields. Wolff gained renown for his Theoria Generatonis, a great embryological treatise, produced in 1759. Müller performed significant studies in the fields of anatomy, pathology, physiology and embryology. In 1834 he became editor of the physiology journal that later came to be known as Müller's Archiv. CONCLUSIONS: Studies of and inferences about the development of the urogenital system a century apart by these 2 men contributed greatly to the current understanding of embryology. Their names remain a part of everyday medical dialogue.

Emil Godlewski Jr. (1875-1944), a professor of embryology at the Faculty of Medicine at the Jagiellonian University of Cracow [UJ] belonged to the group of learned doctors who did scientific research, and at the same time carried out didactic duties and large philanthropic social activity. During the 1st World War, he led the Sanitary Section (Prince-Episcopal Committee of Help) and fought against the contagious illnesses through his activity in both the Sanitary Entities and vaccination groups. He continued this work between 1920 and 1921 as a Head Commissary for the Fight against Epidemics. In the period of the 2nd Republic, as a custodian with the authorisation of UJ, he managed the medical-educational institutes (for children suffering from tuberculosis) in Zakopane, Witkowice and Rabka. During 2nd World War he helped all people both in the Sanitary Section of Polish Red Cross and in the institutes for children. The fact that he was removed from this philanthropic occupations by the German government contributed to his premature death.
