Samuel Leopold Schenk
Samuel Leopold Schenk (born August 23, 1840 in Ürmény , † August 17, 1902 in Bad Schwanberg ) was an Austrian embryologist .
In 1878, Schenk made the first attempt at in vitro fertilization on semen and egg cells from rabbits and guinea pigs at the University of Vienna . Although he was able to prove that egg cells can be isolated, the conception in the test tube was not yet successful at this point in time. In 1885 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
In 1934 the Schenkweg in Vienna- Penzing (14th district) was named after him.
He is the grandfather of the actor Otto Schenk and spent many decades with his family in Schwanberg during the summer. His grave is above the church at the old abandoned cemetery, a memorial stone reminds of him.
