Wolfgang Kiehl
Wolfgang Kiehl was a German medic. He was a pediatrician and later a professor of paediatrics. During the Second World War he moved from Strasbourg to Wernigerode , where on August 13, 1945 he became head of a private children's clinic with 80–100 beds in the former "Essener Hof" hotel in Forckestrasse . In 1955 he received a professorship at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . In 1975 he ended his work as director of the clinic for reasons of age and health and went into retirement. The year before, on the occasion of the Health Care Day, he had been awarded the title of Medical Councilor, which recognized his meritorious work in the non-state health care system in the GDR .
Wolfgang Kiehl was married to Gertraudt Kiehl, a kindergarten teacher. His eldest son Wolfgang, born in 1938, and his two younger siblings, including Jürgen (1940–2007), also became doctors.
