Friedrich-Wilhelm Kolkmann (born August 30, 1936 in Oberhausen -Sterkrade) is a German physician ( pathology ).

Kolkmann was the son of a superintendent and, after graduating from high school in Oberhausen in 1956, initially also studied theology in Wuppertal and Göttingen before he turned to medical studies in Göttingen and Kiel. In 1963 he received his doctorate with the neuropathologist Günter Ule in Kiel with a dissertation on ultrastructural examination of the rat brain after experimental brain edema. He then worked as a medical assistant in Oberhausen, received his license to practice medicine in 1965 and trained as a specialist in pathology at the Institute for Pathology in Heidelberg from 1966 to 1970 (under Wilhelm Doerr and Günter Ule). He completed his habilitation with a thesis on spongy dystrophies in young children and became a specialist in pathology. From 1973 to 1991 he was chief physician for pathology at the Nürtingen district hospital and from 1992 until his retirement in 2003 he headed a group practice for histology and cytology, which emerged from the Institute for Pathology of the Nürtingen district hospital and is now a service provider for several hospitals and resident doctors in the region (Esslingen district ). In 1974 he became an adjunct professor.

From 1968 he was in the Marburger Bund and for six years one of the two state chairmen in Baden-Württemberg. From 1991 to 2003 he was President of the Baden-Württemberg Medical Association and then Honorary President. He was particularly committed to quality assurance and chaired the relevant committee of the German Medical Association. Among other things, he advocated more autopsies as a co-author of a study by the German Medical Association in 2005 and advocated quality assurance within medical self-administration. He was a member of the working group for quality assurance in transplant medicine of the German Medical Association, whose guidelines appeared in 2001.

In 2016 he received the Paracelsus Medal . In 2001 he received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on ribbon. In 2003 he received the Friedrich Schiller Medal of the Hartmannbund Baden-Württemberg. In 2007 he received the Hans Neuffer plaque.
