In the mid-nineteenth century when Germany was on the brink of becoming a modern industrial
society the pioneering age of medical technology dawned. Inventors started setting up their
own companies so that they could make their ideas a reality. The roots of Siemens Healthineers
reach back to this time - to a few small workshops that would eventually grow into global
businesses. This book recounts the history of Siemens Healthineers in ten chapters and through
a rich collection of images. It primarily focuses on the events that had the greatest impact on
both the company and on global progress in medical technology - from the early days of
electromedicine to the development of high-end systems and from the Great Depression of the
1920s to the entry of Siemens Healthineers into the DAX Germany's leading share index in
2021.
