Eugen Kolisko

Eugen Kolisko (21 March 1893 to 29 November 1939) was an Austrian-German physician and educator born in Vienna. He studied medicine at the University of Vienna and became a lecturer of medical chemistry in 1917. He was the son of the pathologist Alexander Kolisko. Introduced to anthroposophy through a classmate, he attended lectures by Rudolf Steiner from 1914 and in 1920 was invited to teach at the newly established Waldorf School in Stuttgart, where he specialized in preventive medicine and helped build artistic therapies such as anthroposophic music therapy and eurythmy. He moved to England in 1936 and died there of cardiac failure. His wife Lili Kolisko developed the capillary dynamolysis method.
