Robert Barany was born on April 22, 1876 in Vienna. Vienna was then the capital of an empire with 60 million inhabitants. Art and science flourished. Also in the field of medicine, it was a time of rapid development, especially in the field of otology, great progress has been made. Barany studied after his Matura medicine and was awarded a doctorate in medicine on April 2, 1900. He was particularly concerned with the importance of the equilibrium apparatus for orientation in space in healthy people and deaf-mutes. As a young ear specialist, Barany discovered the legitimacy of "caloric nystagmus" in the human equilibrium apparatus, thus laying the foundations of his later teaching on the physiology and pathology of the human equilibrium apparatus. In 1914 he received the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his research results. From 1917 to 1936, Barany ran the Ear Clinic in Upsala and turned it into an internationally recognized research center. For his 60th birthday, a large international convention was prepared, but Barany died on April 8, 1936, a few days earlier.
