Alfred Goldscheider (1901)

Alfred Goldscheider ( Johannes Karl August Eugen Alfred Goldscheider ; born August 4, 1858 in Sommerfeld, today Lubsko , near Crossen / Oder in Niederlausitz , † April 10, 1935 in Berlin ) was a German physician (internal neurologist ).

Life

Alfred Goldscheider studied medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelms Institute ( Pépinière ) in Berlin, received his doctorate in 1881 and then worked as a military doctor until 1889. During this time he was also an assistant to Emil du Bois-Reymond . In 1891 he completed his habilitation in internal medicine and in 1894 was appointed doctor in charge at the Moabit City Hospital . At the University of Berlin he received the title of professor in 1895. In 1898 he was appointed associate professor and in 1907 full honorary professor.

He headed the Virchow Hospital from 1906 to 1910 . In 1910 he took over the management of the Polyclinic University Institute, which in 1911 became the III. medical clinic was converted, whereupon Goldscheider was appointed full professor (1926 emeritus).

Goldscheider mainly worked on the somatosensory system, especially on thermoreceptors . In the late 1890s, together with the neurologist Edward Flatau , he examined the structure of nerve cells and their changes under various stimuli , but also emerged in almost all areas of internal medicine; with Ernst von Leyden he laid the foundations for today's physical therapy. The Epidermolysis bullosa hereditaria, which he described in 1882, is called Goldscheidersche disease (Koebner disease). The Goldscheider percussion, the threshold value percussion for examining the tips of the lungs, is named after him. Goldscheider also described various skin diseases.

Goldscheider died in Berlin in 1935 at the age of 76. He was buried in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Cemetery in Charlottenburg - Westend . The grave has not been preserved.
