St. Bartholomew, who was born in Kana/Galilee in the first century, is known as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and is associated with skin diseases due to the attribute "skin" which he carries over his arm like a coat or blanket. Curing the daughter of King Polymios in Armenia led to his doom. He was flayed alive and subsequently crucified. Michelangelo's Last Judgment (1536-1541) in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican shows him as flayed and holding his own skin in his hand. Today he is regarded as the patron saint of dermatology because of his association with the skin.

The isomorphic phenomenon belongs to the probably most well-known entities of dermatology and is closely connected to the man who was the first to describe it. Today the Koebner phenomenon is well documented in a number of skin diseases and still of considerable interest. Heinrich Koebner first reported his observation in 1872 and caused considerable diverse discussion about the origin of psoriasis in the following years. Heinrich Koebner is not only well known as "father" of the Koebner phenomenon, but also as a founder of the university dermatology clinic and pioneer of dermatology in Breslau. We not only describe the life of Heinrich Koebner, but also discuss the evolution of the term "Koebner phenomenon" and its current status.
