A. v. Strümpell is appreciated as one of those internal specialists who inaugurated neurology in Germany and furthered decisively its development. Issuing from the opinions which Strümpell expressed at the end of his life the further way of the German neurology up to an independent clinical discipline is described in short. Here the partly historically, partly really proved relations of neurology to internal medicine as well as to psychiatry are taken into consideration. Integration is characterized as an actual request, since with progressing differentiation and specialisation of medicine the adherence to the traditional structures and borders of the specialities becomes more and more questionable.
