Life

Anton Friedrich Hohl was born as the tenth child of the mayor of Lobenstein, Friedrich David Hohl. He attended the Fürstenschule Schulpforta for six years and passed the school leaving examination there. At the request of his parents, Hohl then began studying law at the University of Leipzig . After completing his studies, he settled in his hometown as a lawyer in 1813. His father died in 1815 and his offices were passed on to his son, who was also elected officer of the citizen rifle battalion. In this function, Hohl was given access to the court of those of Reuss-Lobenstein . In 1818, Hohl entered the service of Prince Heinrich LIV as a lieutenant and stable master . (1767–1824), with him and his wife Franziska zu Reuss-Köstritz (1788–1843), Hohl had a friendly relationship. The prince died on May 7th, 1824 and at Heinrich's behest, his widow gave the clerk the necessary financial means to complete a long-sought medical degree.

In 1824, Hohl took up his studies at the United Friedrichs University in Halle, where he was accepted by the professor of obstetrics Wilhelm Hermann Niemeyer (1788–1840). On April 8, 1827 he received his doctorate with the dissertation De Microcephalia to the doctor of medicine. With the support of Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781–1833), Hohl devotes himself in this book to the investigation of a malformed girl from the Meckel collection . Hohl's description of the skeleton points to a Klippel-Feil syndrome , so Hohl could be the first to describe the syndrome.

In 1829 he passed the state examination and in the following year he completed his habilitation with the treatise De Aneurysmatis, eorum medendi manuumque opera sanandi ratione . He turned to obstetrics and was appointed associate professor in 1832 and full professor in this subject in 1834. In the following two decades, Hohl developed a lively publication activity and wrote several textbooks. In 1840 he took over the management of the obstetrical clinic as the successor to Niemeyer, with whom he had worked for several years as an assistant. He died on January 23, 1862 of complications from pneumonia .

He was a member of the Corps Thuringia Leipzig (1811) and founder of the Corps Saxonia Leipzig . His son was the doctor Rudolf Hohl .
