    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Obwohl die Teilmumifikation der Fingerbeeren als spätpostmortale Leichenerscheinung lange bekannt ist, fehlen bisher systematische quantitative und qualitative Untersuchungen. Die Ergebnisse experimenteller quantitativer und qualitativer Untersuchungen an den Fingerbeeren von 52 Händen (von 36 Gestorbenen; 23 Männer und 13 Frauen im Alter von 22–92 Jahren) werden vorgestellt, die in den Intervallen 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 20, 26, 32, 44, 50, 60, 72, 84, 96 und 120 Std p.m. durch Messung von drei benachbarten Hautleistenbreiten in vier verschiedenen Zonen auf den Mittelfingerbeeren und durch subjektiv-deskriptive Dokumentation von allen Fingerbeeren erzielt wurden. Durch postmortale Exsikkation tritt im Gegensatz zur Waschhautbildung keine Veränderung der Hautleistenbreiten auf. Die qualitativen Veränderungen entsprechen vier phasenartigen Stadien, die bei Leichenfunden in geschlossenen Wohnräumen die Entscheidung über die Dauer der Liegezeit erleichtern. Beim Exsikkations-Stadium IV ist z. B. von einer postmortalen Liegezeit von über 72 Std auszugehen.
    Notes: Summary To date there have been no results published on qualitative and quantitative time-related changes with regard to desiccation of human fingertips post mortem. The fingertips of 52 hands from 36 corpses were qualitatively examined soon after death (2–6 h) to 120 h post mortem. The quantitative investigations were confined to the tips of the middle fingers. The width of three adjoining ridges of the skin was measured in four defined areas of the middle fingertips, and photographs were taken at intervals of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 20, 26, 32, 44, 50, 60, 72, 84, 96 and 120 h p.m. Concerning the qualitative test results, four time-related stages were classified macroscopically and by a pocket lens (×25). Desiccation stage IV correlates to the period 72 h after death in bodies found in apartments. Besides the rough, wrinkled, and brown or black surface of the fingertips, microwrinkles of the epidermis occur on the skin ridges, which have so far not been described. The quantitative results did not show any changes in the width of the skin ridges, independent of age, sex, right or left hand.
