Some Personal Details and the End
Virchow married Rose Mayer in 1850. They had six children: Karl, who became a chemist; Hans, who became an anatomist; Adele; Ernst; Marie; and Hanna Elisabeth.

Apart from Karl, who died aged 61, the Virchow children enjoyed rather long lives – particularly for the era they were alive in – living to be 87, 99, 84, 85 and 90 years old respectively.

Rudolph Virchow died from heart failure at the age of 80 in Berlin on September 5, 1902. He had fractured his thigh falling from a tramcar in January of that year. Although at first he seemed to be recovering, he gradually fell deeper into ill-health. He was buried in the Old St.-Matthäus Churchyard in Schöneberg, Berlin. Rose was buried beside him following her death in 1913.
