Bernhard Krönig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Krönig (born January 27, 1863 in Bielefeld , † October 29, 1917 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German gynecologist .

Life

Krönig studied medicine in Heidelberg, Munich and Kiel. In 1889 he received his doctorate in Munich ( on a case of autochthonous sinus thrombosis in chlorosis ), completed his habilitation in Leipzig in 1896 and became a private lecturer and assistant at the Leipzig University Women's Clinic and an associate professor in 1901. From 1903 he was a full professor for gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Jena and from 1904 at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau. During the First World War he was a doctor in a field hospital. He was a privy councilor.

During his career he was also an assistant at the Koch Institute in Berlin and the University Women's Clinic in Berlin, at the Clinic in Elberfeld and at the private orthopedic clinic in Würzburg.

His student Otto Pankow described him in the obituary as combative and spirited, which also led to hostility, for example when he developed x-ray therapy for benign bleeding in gynecology, which also became established and made it possible to combat severe bleeding in patients who could not be surgically treated. He was considered a good surgeon, but was also accused from some quarters of operating too radically. Krönig further developed anesthetic procedures and dealt with radiation therapy. He worked on an interdisciplinary basis with scientists from other fields.

He worked on the manual of internal medicine (1st edition, Volume 6, 1919).

In 1898 he married Margarete Kulenkampff. His father was Theodor Krönig and his mother Marie Aschoff.
