Life

In the same year he took part in the German War as a military doctor .

From 1868 to 1874 he worked as an assistant to general physician Bernhard von Langenbeck at the Charité in Ziegelstraße. During his assistantship he went to the Franco-German War in 1870 . On the occasion of the opening of the municipal hospital at Friedrichshain . In 1871 he completed his habilitation with the work Chirurgiae Militaris Principiis and was then a private lecturer in Berlin. In 1874 he was appointed medical director and head of the surgical department. He introduced the antisepsis according to Joseph Lister in his clinic and thus moved the Friedrichshain hospital into the center of medical interest. In 1875 he followed a call to the University of Rostock as full professor and successor to Franz König . In 1882 he moved to the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in the same position . There he introduced steam sterilization . In 1895 he succeeded Carl Thiersch at the University of Leipzig . From 1897/98 and 1906/07 he was dean of the medical faculty.

He was a pioneer in securing the airway through endotracheal intubation (in 1869 he first performed endotracheal anesthesia on humans using a tracheotomy ). He was the last personal physician of the Saxon King Friedrich August III. and held the rank of general doctor in the Saxon army with the personal rank of major general .

tomb

In 1906 he was invited to the USA by the American Medical Association . Friedrich Trendelenburg returned to Berlin as emeritus in 1911, where he died in 1924. His grave in the Evangelical Churchyard Nikolassee (Zehlendorf) was dedicated as a grave of honor from 1990 to 2014 . The grave is located in Section A, Fam.-St.45.

The memories of his Leipzig student Arthur Läwen , the last one he completed his habilitation, paint the image of a conservative man with respect. This includes his interest in history: “In general, Trendelenburg was extraordinarily historical. He liked to show the students old textbooks on surgery with their illustrations. ”This includes everyday hospital life:“ The entire medical operation in the two main departments of the hospital had something strictly official, even military, about it. ”This includes the sentence from his farewell speech the Leipzig students in 1911, he hoped "to have educated his students in wound treatment so that they would be capable war doctors for the fatherland in hours of danger". This includes, as the grandson Ullrich Trendelenburg thinks, that all six sons studied, but none of the three daughters.
