Abstract		Throughout the 19th century there is evidence of activities of the Heitzmann family. Martin (1804-1889) became an army doctor and veterinarian and lived in Vinkovci, later on in Budapest as a Senior Veterinarian of all Hungary. His eldest son Carl (1836-1896) focused on dermatology and pathology in Vienna. In cooperation with Anton Elfinger he was responsible for highly qualified scientific illustrations of the Vienna Medical School. In 1874 he emigrated to New York and was a founding member of the American Dermatological Association. His brother Julius (1847-1922) lived in Vienna, illustrated his own books, mostly on gynecology, and was responsible for the ongoing publication of Carl's books. Today the only descendants of the family live in the United States.
