Life

During the First World War he made great humanitarian contributions as an advisory hygienist to the War Ministry in regulating the relevant conditions in the prison camps. He died in the Vienna Sanatorium Löw .

Scientific career

In 1896, Schattenfroh became assistant to the hygienist Max von Gruber at the University of Vienna , where he qualified as a professor for hygiene in 1898 . In 1902 he became an associate professor . When Gruber moved to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich as Max von Pettenkofer's successor , Schattenfroh initially represented the chair for hygiene at the University of Vienna until he was appointed full professor in 1905 . The functional concept of a Viennese hygiene and in particular the conception of the two hygiene institutions, chair and examination center, was initiated by Gruber and continued by Schattenfroh, with the collaboration of Roland Graßberger (1867–1956), Heinrich Reichel (1876–1943), Ernst von Krombholz and Max Eugling .

In the terms of office of 1908/1909 and 1917/1918 he was dean of the university. On August 10, 1918, Schattenfroh posted a 5-point announcement on the notice board at the faculty, which was a numerus clausus, or as an unnamed doctor (Dr. M.) aptly described it as numerus antisemiticus, in the academic year 1918 / 1919 for the students of the crown lands (Galicia, Bukowina), who had their own universities, to attach. In doing so, he followed a decree by the university authorities in Vienna that Galician students should be excluded from studying medicine because of a “lack of space”, which particularly affected the Jewish refugees. Schattenfroh ran the institute until his death.

He was head of the State Research Institute for Food in Vienna. His particular field of work concerned the Bacteriology (toxin studies), such as the causative agent of gas gangrene , malignant edema and noise Brands . He was particularly concerned with immunity . He was the medical expert for the construction of the Second Vienna Spring Water Pipeline. In addition, he made great contributions to the new building of the Hygiene Institute (1905–1908).
