Life
Adam Nietzki was born as the second son of Landschöffen Bartholomäus Niecki and his wife Anna Maria Klotz-Niecki. From March 1733 he studied theology in Königsberg , but soon switched to medicine and completed his studies in Halle an der Saale in 1753 under the famous physician and temporary personal physician of the Prussian King Friedrich I , Friedrich Hoffmann , with a doctorate . In 1768 he became an associate professor of medicine in Altdorf and a full professor in Halle the following year. In the years 1779/80 Nietzki was prorector of the University of Halle .
Services
With his extensive work Elementa Patologiae Universae, Nietzki contributed significantly to the dissemination of the "physico-mathematical" theories of his teacher Friedrich Hoffmann.
