Paul Grützner (April 30, 1847 – July 29, 1919) was a German

physiologist born in Festenberg, Silesia (present-day Twardogóra, Lower Silesian Voivodeship
).

He studied medicine at the universities of

Breslau, where he was a pupil of Rudolf Heidenhain. After graduation, he was an assistant at the physiological institute in Breslau. In 1881, he became a professor at the University of Bern, and in 1884 succeeded Karl von Vierordt (1818–1884) at the physiological institute at the University of Tübingen
.

Grützner performed numerous studies involving the

digestive tract. Findings from their research were published in an 1874 treatise called Ueber Pepsinbildung im Magen, and was included in Pflügers Archiv.[1]

Grützner is credited with introducing a

colorimetric method for determining the quantity of pepsin in a solution. Among his numerous written articles was an 1879 physiological study on voice and speech titled Physiologie der Stimme und Sprache.[2]
