After 1871 Berlin, the capital of the new German Empire, became a leading center for medical research. The [[Charité]] is tracing back its origins to the year 1710. More than half of all German Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine, including [[Emil von Behring]], [[Robert Koch]] and [[Paul Ehrlich]], worked there. Koch, (1843–1910), was a representative leader. He became famous for isolating ''[[Bacillus anthracis]]'' (1877), the ''[[Mycobacterium tuberculosis|Tuberculosis bacillus]]'' (1882) and ''[[Vibrio cholerae]]'' (1883) and for his development of [[Koch's postulates]]. He was awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] in 1905 for his tuberculosis findings. Koch is one of the founders of [[microbiology]] and [[modern medicine]]. He inspired such major figures as Ehrlich, who discovered the first [[antibiotic]], [[arsphenamine]] and [[Gerhard Domagk]], who created the first commercially available antibiotic, [[Prontosil]].<ref name="Weindling_1992"/>
