    As happens with loanwords in general, the German eponyms borrowed by the Spanish language are evidence of some fields in which the German-speaking countries have influenced the Hispanic world throughout history. Thus, the largo amount of medical eponyms of German origin that have entered Spanish during the twentieth century reveals the importance of the development of medicine and related disciplines in Germany, Switzerland and Austria during this period. These eponyms have frequently been dealt with by physicians and linguists, especially lexicologists; but much less attention has been paid to others, such as those from the fields of economy, business, physics or certain branches of engineering. This paper focuses only on the latter type of eponyms; and discusses their importance in the teaching of German to speakers of Spanish.
