[Felix Martin Oberländer (1851-1915) and his contributions to the medical specialty. A contribution to the history of science in urology and venerology].

While the culture of remembrance of Maximilian Nitze, honorary member of the American Urological Association (AUA), has been cultivated, the contributions of Felix Martin Oberländer have been less noticed although he was an editor of the famous urologic journal Zentralblatt für die Krankheiten der Harn- und Sexualorgane (central journal for diseases of the urinary tract and sexual organs), was also honorary member of the AUA in 1902 and the main "founding father" of the German Society of Urology (DGU).
