Adolf A. Friedländer

Adolf Albrecht Friedländer (born August 8, 1870 in Dornbach near Vienna , † January 19, 1949 in Bad Aussee ) was an Austrian neurologist .

After studying medicine at the University of Vienna , Adolf Albrecht Friedländer completed internal training in psychiatry . In Jena he was assistant to privy councilor Otto Binswanger at the psychiatric-neurological clinic and in Frankfurt to Professor Emil Sioli . He became naturalized in Prussia and obtained his license to practice medicine as a German doctor in Bonn in 1903.

He wrote his doctoral thesis from 1902 to 1904 during the construction of his private psychiatric clinic, which was opened on March 1, 1904 under the name of Privatklinik Hohe Mark im Taunus in Oberursel near Bad Homburg . Numerous works in the field of internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry and psychology gave him the reputation of an important scholar. In 1906, the Count of Erbach-Erbach appointed him court counselor. In 1910 he received the title of Prussian professor.

During the First World War he served as a medical officer and did a great job fighting epidemics in Warsaw . He later served as an advisory neurologist for two army corps on the Western Front. After the war, Friedländer sold his private clinic to the city of Frankfurt and moved to Freiburg im Breisgau. In 1936 he went back to Austria and founded a private practice, which he had to give up in 1938 because of his Jewish descent. Friedländer died on January 19, 1949 at his last place of residence, Bad Aussee in Austria.
