Abstract
Kurt Brück, the director of the Physiological Institute at the Medical Faculty of the Justus-Liebig-University, died on April 27, 1992 at the age of 66 after a distinguished career in paediatrics and physiology. Born in Köln in 1925, Kurt Brück grew up in Mannheim and studied medicine at Heidelberg and Frankfurt. After obtaining his doctorate he worked as assistant professor at the Physiological Institute in Heidelberg under Prof. Dr. Hans Schaefer (1951–53) and thereafter as paediatrician at the University Children’s Hospital in Hamburg under Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Schäfer (1953–55). From 1956 he was assistant professor at the Physiological Institute in Marburg under Prof. Dr. Herbert Hensel, where he continued his studies on neonates.
