Hermann Gutzmann Sr.
Hermann Gutzmann Sr. (Born January 29, 1865 in Bütow , Pomerania; † November 4, 1922 in Berlin ) was a German physician and founder of phoniatrics in Germany.
Life
Hermann Gutzmann was born in Bütow as the first of a total of seven children. In 1873 the family moved to Berlin. His father Albert Gutzmann continued his activity there as a teacher for the deaf and dumb at the first municipal school for the deaf and dumb in Berlin . In 1897 he wrote a paper The stuttering and its thorough elimination by a methodically ordered and practically tested procedure , dealt intensively with speech disorders in his work in Berlin in addition to his teaching activities.
Probably under this impression, Hermann studied medicine at the Friedrichwerder Gymnasium in 1883 after graduating from high school . During his studies he became a member of the Guilelmia country team . He completed the compulsory assistantship a. with the surgeon Ernst von Bergmann . His doctorate, completed in 1887, was entitled: About stuttering . In 1891 he opened a private outpatient clinic for people with speech disorders, which moved several times within Berlin until he founded a sanatorium for people with speech disorders in Berlin-Zehlendorf in 1896 .
He completed his habilitation on the subject of speech disorders as a subject of clinical instruction in 1905. This year is considered to be the founding year of the Phoniatrics department he represents . In the following year Herrmann Gutzmann appears in the course catalog of the Berlin University, initially under the chapter "Internal Medicine". Some of his courses were offered privatissime in his private phonetics laboratory. In 1912 he was appointed professor at his clinic by his friend Gustav Killian , the head of the ENT university clinic at the Charité .
In addition to his teaching and training activities, he devoted himself intensively to the practice treatment of speech impaired people , both at the Charité and at his private sanatorium. He showed a lively publication activity on various subjects in the field (over 300 scientific papers, congresses, lectures, 13 books, textbook in two editions, see below).
During the First World War , his sanatorium was run as a special hospital and the bed capacity was increased from 12 to 24 beds. Through the treatment of the often traumatized war casualties, Gutzmann came to the realization that not only exercise treatment, but also psychotherapy was often necessary to overcome language disorders.
Hermann Gutzman Sr. died in 1922 of sepsis . According to oral tradition, he contracted this from a stab wound on a gramophone needle while researching the voice . He left three daughters and a son, Hermann Gutzmann jr. (1892–1972), who later also continued his father's legacy as a phoniatrist in Berlin.
