Gustav Albert Schwalbe, M.D. (1 August 1844 – 23 April 1916) was a German
anatomist and anthropologist from Quedlinburg
.
He was educated at the universities of
University of Leipzig, and then professor of anatomy successively at the universities of Jena (1873), Königsberg (1881), and Strassburg (1883) — at that time a German university, Alsace
having been annexed to Germany. There he died.
Known for his anthropological research of primitive man, Schwalbe considered the
Pithecantropus Erectus
).
In 1869 Schwalbe injected
vestibular nucleus; "Schwalbe's ring", which is a circular ridge consisting of collagenous fibers surrounding the outer margin of Descemet's membrane; and "Schwalbe's line", an anatomical line located on the posterior surface of the eye's cornea. He was the first to describe Paneth cells in the Archiv für mikroskopische Anatomie in 1872; he described them 16 years before Joseph Paneth. Paneth even acknowledged Schwalbe and used one of his drawings in his article that was published in the same journal.[1]
