No abstract available. Prof. Dr. Andreas Weiglein was a great scientist and a very good friend. He was a perfect teacher not only in classical gross anatomy but also a perfect promoter in developing alternative methodologies for preservation of bodies such as Thiel’s embalmment and plastination. He served as the President of European Association of Clinical Anatomy for many years and also as the President of the International Society of Plastination for a long time. He was always involved in building bridges between cultures and increasing communication among colleagues from different countries.
