Live and act

Koll's parents were the middle school teacher Jürgen Knoll and his wife Elisabeth b. Barefoot. Werner was in 1927 at the University of Kiel Dr. phil. PhD, 1928 at the University of Frankfurt am Main as Dr. med. In 1935 he completed his habilitation in pharmacology in Frankfurt, and in 1940 he was appointed associate professor there. During the Second World War he was at the Institute for Pharmacology and Defense Toxicology of the Medical Academy in Danzig (from 1943 as institute director and professor) and worked in nerve gas research . In 1944 he was appointed to the scientific advisory board of the General Commissioner for Health Care Karl Brandt .

After the end of the war he was visiting professor at Kiel University from 1946 . From 1949 to 1968 he was a Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society , Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen and Director of the Institute's Pharmacology Department. His most famous research work, which dealt with the conduction of pain and its influence through analgesics , dates from this period . From 1951 he was honorary professor at the University of Göttingen .

From 1950 until his death he was chairman of the German Medicines Commission (later Medicines Commission of the German Medical Association ) and from 1965 to 1966 chairman of the German Society for Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology .

In 1965 Werner Koll was awarded the Paracelsus Medal of the German medical profession. The Tübingen pharmacologist Fred Lembeck said in his obituary about him: “Co-founder and chairman of the European Society for Drug Toxicology, <...> ready to mediate at any time between specialist and authorities, between science, medical association and industry, he just took on the tasks others seemed too laborious and ungrateful. ” Walther Vogt (1918–2012), his successor at the Max Planck Institute, later wrote that Knoll had dedicated himself to the development of pain and the identification of pain-conducting nerve pathways in the spinal cord. "He recognized the importance of nociceptive pathways for the transmission of pain excitement from the periphery and found, among other things, points of attack of morphine in neurons of the spinal cord."
