herausgegeben von Christian Rittner, Peter M. Schneider und Jörg RöhrichIf one takes into account the media presence, then forensic medical science is a beacon in the canon of medical disciplines.

In Mainz, forensic medicine at the Johannes Gutenberg University, has since the founding of the institute in 1946 always played a prominent role. There are a number of good reasons why: Excellent personalities have been active here in the institute’s leadership (Wagner, Leithoff, Rittner, Urban, Germerott). This is true from a professional point of view, but also with regard to their importance for the further development of the medical faculty at the level of the dean’s office and the board of directors.
