The front side of the memorial reads: "In memory of the doctor, researcher, and philospher Theophrastus Paracelsus,
pioneer of medicine, father of chemotherapy, promoter of biology and miracle cures, savior of souls, server of the medical ethos, self-willed thinker but humbled to Christ, friend of the poor. Born at the end of 1493 near Teufelsbrücke in Etzel, after a Faustian life died September 24, 1541, in Salzburg. Remembered by his home, Einsideln."
