Julius Koch (1872 – 30 March 1902), also known as Le Géant Constantin ("Constantin the Giant"), was one of the tallest people ever. He suffered from gigantism, with an enlarged pituitary gland, testicular atrophy and lack of sexual development, and had trouble walking. His height, 245.9 cm (8 ft 0.8 in) was based on an estimate: after a series of falls, his legs were badly injured, and they were amputated after gangrene set in. His height had been advertised as 2.59 m (8 ft 6 in), but this was presumed to be an exaggeration, as the skeleton measures 8 ft 1 in (2.46 cm). Because he lived at the same time as John Rogan, he was probably never the tallest man in the world. At the age of 14 years, he reportedly already measured 1.94 m (6 ft 4 in). Koch's femurs were the longest ever measured, a

  • Julius Koch, ezagunagoa Constantine erraldoia (frantsesez: Le Geant Constantin) ezizenarekin (Reutlingen, 1872 – Mons, 1902ko martxoaren 30a) oso gizaseme garaia izan zen; akromegalia deritzon gaixotasunaren ondorioz, 2,459 metro garai izatera heldu zen. Nahasiak dira Constantine erraldoiari buruzkoak. Garaiko kronikek diote munduko pertsonarik altuenetakoa izan zela, harena baita inoiz neurtu den femurrik handiena: 76 cm. Erraldoitasuna zeukan, eta ibiltzeko arazoak. Hausturak izan zituen hanketan: gangrenatu, eta moztu behar izan zizkioten. Haren hezurdura Monseko museoan dago (Belgika). (eu)
  • Julius Koch, aussi connu sous le nom du Géant Constantin, né en 1872 et mort le 30 mars 1902 à Mons en Belgique, est l'une des dix-sept personnes de l'histoire médicale à avoir dépassé la taille de 2,44 m. Affecté de gigantisme, il mesurait entre 246 et 256 cm selon les sources. Il a été amputé de la jambe droite vers 1901 après avoir développé une gangrène symétrique des deux pieds. Il a notamment figuré dans le court métrage, The Giant Constantin sorti en 1902. Son squelette est conservé au Musée d'histoire naturelle de Mons. (fr)

  • Julius Koch (ur. 1872 w Reutlingen, Niemcy, zm. 30 marca 1902 w Mons, Belgia) – jeden z dwunastu ludzi w dziejach medycyny, u których pomiar wzrostu wykazał ponad 240 cm. Cierpiał na gigantyzm eunuchoidalny. Osiągnął wzrost 245,9 cm, zanim amputowano mu obie kończyny, w które wdała się gangrena. Za życia był najwyższym mieszkańcem Europy, ale nigdy nie został uznany za najwyższego człowieka na świecie (w tym czasie był nim ). Miał jednak najdłuższą kość udową, którą udało się zmierzyć (76 cm długości), a jego dłonie miały długość 37,5 cm. (pl)
