Carl-Bernhard Brühl (5 May 1820, Prague – 14 August 1899, Graz) was an Austrian physician and anatomist known for his work in the field of comparative osteology.
He studied medicine in Vienna, later spending several years as a practicing physician. In 1857 he was appointed professor of zootomy and comparative anatomyinKraków. In 1861 he became a professor of zootomy in Vienna, where in 1863, he was named director of the zootomic institute.[1]
In Vienna, he conducted popular scientific lectures free of charge, a practice that was almost unheard of at the time. His lectures were also available to female listeners, causing a stir of serious controversy in academic circles.[2] Sigmund Freud, in his 1925 autobiographical study, mentioned that it was hearing Brühl's reading of Goethe's "Die Natur" that persuaded him to enter medical school.[3]
