Hermann Friedberg (1817 to 1884) was a German medical doctor born in Rosenberg (Olesno) in Silesia. He studied at the universities of Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Paris and Breslau and received his doctorate in medicine from Breslau in 1840. From 1849 to 1852 he was an assistant at the surgical hospital of the University of Berlin, and in 1852 he was admitted there as a privatdozent in surgery and pharmacology, while also running a private hospital for the treatment of surgical and ophthalmological diseases. In 1866 he was appointed professor of pharmacology at the University of Breslau, where he later died. It is believed that Friedberg wrote the first description of CLOVES syndrome, and that description is the point for which his name is recorded.
