Friedrich Wilhelm Kopsch (1868–1955) was a renowned German anatomist known for his significant contributions to the field of anatomy. He was born on 26th October 1868 in Berlin, Germany and passed away on 5th February 1955.
Early Life and Education[edit]
Kopsch attended the University of Berlin where he studied medicine. He graduated with a degree in medicine in 1893. During his time at the university, he developed a keen interest in anatomy, which led him to pursue a career in this field.
Career[edit]
After graduation, Kopsch worked as an assistant at the Anatomical Institute in Berlin. He later became a professor of anatomy at the University of Rostock. During his tenure, he made significant contributions to the field of anatomy, particularly in the study of the human nervous system.
