    Abstract:
    The conservation of tissue in GDR is an example system of superregional supply with tissue transplants, which was established with the foundation of the Central Tissue Bank at the Charité in 1956 e. g. with the following arrangement of tissue banks in Leipzig and Rostock in 1966 and 1969. The concept of this tissue banks is characterized by means of decentralised production of tissue material under conditions of section and the central preparation, conservation and storage (chemical or radiation sterilization, conservation on base of freeze-drying (or freeze-storage), aseptic packing and storage by room temperature). This system allows the consistent disposal of 30 various nonvital tissue preparations. Until 1989 more than 170,000 allogeneic and xenogeneic tissue transplants have been produced in the tissue banks of country of which nearly 130,000 were used in 300 clinics.
