Abstrakt		Background. Five hundred years' anniversary of Paracelsus's birth is a good opportunity to look back into the time of Renaissance and Humanism, when the time grew over the frames of dogmatically based medicine of Galen and Avicenna. Paracelsus is the first great reformator of mediaeval medicine, who brought high number of novelties into the medicine. He demanded that the medicine was based on the rationalism and experiences, and that Hippocrate's ethics should be respected. He gave up Galens's therapy and introduced chemical elements into the healing. He also put the basis of chemistry, medicine of work und balneology. Conclusions. An extraordinary personality - although sometimes contradictory - and exeptional time of his living, echoed abundantly in the literature. Among others, the features of Paracelsus served to Goethe for forming the figure of Faust.
