In this essay a survey of the development of electrochemical analysis is given for the last two hundred years. It is shown that the great breakthroughs in this discipline were not predictable, as in all other sciences. The two centuries have led to an enormous diversification of electroanalytical techniques and analytical targets for which electroanalytical techniques can be applied most beneficially. Maintaining the experimental and theoretical expertise as part of the chemistry curricula at Universities is identified as a main task, now and in future.
