Anton Gutsch (born July 1, 1825 in Bruchsal , † July 26, 1912 in Karlsruhe ) was a German medic.

Life

Anton Gutsch was a son of the senior physician Dr. Gutsch in Bruchsal. He attended the grammar school in Bruchsal and the Lyceum in Rastatt. From 1844 to 1848 he studied medicine at the Universities of Heidelberg (among others with Maximilian Joseph von Chelius ) and Paris. In Heidelberg he became a member of the Corps Suevia in 1845 . After his doctorate as Dr. med. in 1849 he settled in Bruchsal as a general practitioner and surgeon at the hospital.

In addition, Gutsch was the first doctor at the Bruchsal cell prison from 1850. In this role he examined the influence of solitary confinement on the mental health of prisoners and the special requirements for housing and care of mentally ill convicts. Together with Anton Delbrück he was one of the pioneers in research into detention psychosis. In 1881 he resigned from the prison service and from 1882 worked only as a general practitioner in his own practice in Karlsruhe.

Gutsch headed the association for released prisoners. In 1889 he was made an honorary member of the Association of German Prison Officials. In 1890 he took part in the 4th International Prison Congress in Saint Petersburg as the official representative of the government of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
