His parents were Freiherr Guido von Eiselsberg (1824–1887) and his wife Freiin Maria von Pirquet (1828–1904) daughter of Feldzeugmeister Peter Martin Pirquet von Cesenatico and his wife Johanna von Mayern . He was the couple's second son and was born on the family seat of Steinhaus Castle . The older brother Hans died unmarried in 1854, his brother Otto was adjutant to the field witness.

Life

After graduating from the Stiftsgymnasium Kremsmünster high school , he studied medicine at the University of Vienna , the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg , the University of Zurich and the University of Paris . As a student and assistant to Theodor Billroth , v. Eiselsberg in Vienna in 1884 as Dr. med. PhD . In 1890 he completed his habilitation there with a thesis on tetany following goiter operations as a private lecturer in surgery at the University of Vienna. One of his students in Vienna was Paul Clairmont , who in 1918 succeeded the surgeon Sauerbruch as a professor in Zurich. Anton von Eiselsberg was professor of medicine at the University of Utrecht from 1893 and in Königsberg from 1896, before he was director of the 1st Surgical University Clinic in Vienna from 1901 to 1931. During the First World War he was a reserve officer in the Austrian Navy.

One of his patients was the Greek King Constantine I , who had him come to Athens in May 1915, where he operated on him for pleurisy , and whom he referred to Ferdinand Sauerbruch in his private clinic in Zurich during his stay in Pontresina in 1917 to assess had transferred the fistula formed on the surgical wound . In Zurich, Eiselberg then assisted Sauerbruch in the king's operation.

In 1895 Eiselsberg married his cousin Freiin Agnes von Pirquet (1875–1948), the sister of the Viennese pediatrician Clemens von Pirquet and great-great-granddaughter Fanny von Arnstein . These connections resulted in seven daughters (including Flora Eiselsberg) and the son Otto Eiselsberg .

In his memoirs, completed in December 1937, he also discussed the euthanasia of seriously ill and handicapped people. He expressed "serious, unbridgeable reservations" about euthanasia and declared the killing of patients to be "incompatible with medical ethics".

Eiselsberg, himself a pioneer in trauma surgery, died “on the way to a person in need” when an express train derailed thirteen fatalities at the entrance to the station in St. Valentin. Anton Eiselsberg was buried on October 28, 1939 in the village cemetery of his birthplace Steinhaus.

Eiselsberg was the founder of the Vienna School of Surgery, where he had a major influence on asepsis as a student of Robert Koch . He is considered one of the founders of neurosurgery . In 1919 he founded the Austrian Cancer Society with the surgeon Julius Hochenegg . From 1927 to 1928 he was chairman of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors .

Ferdinand Sauerbruch and Bernhard Naunyn belonged to the Eiselsberg Circle of Friends (when Naunyn was almost seventy, Eiselsberg operated on his appendix).
