Jakob Leonhard Vogel
Jakob Leonhard Vogel (also Jacob Leonhard Vogel ; born October 14, 1694 in Lübeck ; † January 30, 1781 ibid) was a German surgeon .
Life
Vogel, son of Lübeck surgeon Adolph Gustav Vogel and his wife Margaretha Dorothea (née Siemsen), completed his surgical training in Hanover , Halle , Leipzig and Jena . At that time, surgery was still seen as a purely manual profession that did not require academic medical training. However, during his training, Vogel also attended several semesters of medical lectures at the universities of his respective places of residence and thereby acquired extensive knowledge of academic medicine.
After completing his training, Vogel returned to Lübeck and from then on practiced in his hometown. His medical knowledge, which clearly set him apart from the surgeons of his time, earned him a reputation among academically trained doctors and contributed to his success. Since he was concerned with improving medical qualifications in his profession, he held anatomical lectures for journeyman surgeons in Lübeck .
Vogel was raised to the position of council surgeon, which means that he was also officially identified as an authority in his field in Lübeck. In addition, he obtained the title of Duke Mecklenburgisch-Strelitzschen Landphysicus (presumably with responsibility for the Principality of Ratzeburg ). Particularly unusual for the 18th century was the fact that Vogel also provided obstetrics , which until then was almost exclusively the task of midwives and was widely regarded as the only specialist in difficult births. From 1731 until his death he was the first officially appointed midwifery teacher in Lübeck and also worked closely with the medical profession in the field of obstetrics.
Of his sons, Johann Hermann (1740–1801) became a doctor in Hamburg and the youngest Adolph Friedrich Vogel (1748–1785) became a doctor in Lübeck and his father's successor as a midwifery teacher.
