August Lüning (physician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Friedrich Lüning (born March 2, 1813 in Gütersloh , † June 18, 1896 in Rüschlikon ) was a German fraternity and Swiss physician.

Life

His parents were the Protestant pastor Johann Friedrich Lüning and his wife Johanna Luisa Amalia nee. Velhagen. His brothers were Hermann Lüning and Otto Lüning .

When the family moved to Schildesche in 1827 , Lüning attended the Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld . After graduating from high school in 1831, he studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg from the winter semester 1831/32 . For the summer semester of 1832 he moved to the Royal University of Greifswald . In 1832 he became a member of the old fraternity Arminia Greifswald , whose spokesman he became. In December 1832 he was seconded in a duel , whereupon he was punished with six weeks of loss of the free table. In 1833 he received the Consilium abeundi ; for with his brother Hermann he had broken window panes at Lieutenant Colonel von Klaß. Another punishment for a prohibited visit to an inn in February 1834 was prevented by the university's chancellor. Lüning planned to take his legal exam in Berlin in the summer of 1834. In 1834 Lüning is mentioned in the Black Book of the Federal Central Authority after an investigation by the Chamber Court . Wanted in the demagogue persecution since August 15, 1834, he fled to Switzerland. In 1836 he was in absentia for high treason to 25 years imprisonment convicted. Requests for pardon from Lüning and his father were rejected by Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1842 and 1844 . In 1836 there was a suspicion that Lüning had murdered the Prussian informant Ludwig Lessing, but this could not be proven. His academic teachers Lorenz Oken , Johann Lukas Schönlein and Friedrich Arnold prevented a planned expulsion from Switzerland . Lüning was a member of the Zurich committee of the Young Germany secret society . He studied medicine at the University of Zurich . In 1838 he was promoted to Dr. med. PhD . Lüning attended lectures by Georg Büchner . From 1840 Lüning lived as a general practitioner in Rüschlikon, where he worked as a district doctor from 1853 to 1893 and as a cantonal staff doctor in the rank of lieutenant colonel from 1854 to 1874. In 1845 he received citizenship in Rüschlikon . In 1846 he married Johanna Barbara (Babette) Hannah from Glasgow. In the Sonderbund War in 1847 and in the Büsinger trade in 1849 he served as a military doctor.

The Swiss physician August Lüning (surgeon) (1852-1925) was his son.
