- Friedrich Ernst Krukenberg
Friedrich Ernst Krukenberg (April 1, 1871 - February 20, 1946) was a German physician who was a native of Halle an der Saale. He was a brother to orthopedic surgeon Hermann Krukenberg (1863-1935), and Georg Heinrich Peter Krukenberg (1856-1899), who was a professor of gynecology at the University of Bonn.
Krukenberg originally studied in his native city of Halle, and continued his medical education at the University of Marburg, where he was a student of ophthalmologist Theodor Axenfeld (1867-1930). At Marburg he also studied under pathologist Felix Jacob Marchand (1846-1928), in whose department he described a fibrosarcoma of the ovary that was to become known as a Krukenberg tumor. In 1896 he published his findings in an article called " Über das Fibrosarcoma ovarii mucocellulare (carcinomatodes)".
Later, his interest turned to ophthalmology, and eventually he returned to Halle where he opened a private practice. The ophthalmic term "Krukenberg's spindle" is named after him, which is a vertical, fusiform deposition of melanin pigmentation in the deep layers of the cornea.
