Life

Bernhard Naunyn's father was the mayor of Berlin, Franz Christian Naunyn . After Bernhard learned to speak late due to an illness ( hydrocephalus ) and had to repeat several classes in his early school years, the ambitious student, thirsty for knowledge, attended the Friedrichwerder grammar school . After successfully passing his Abitur in 1858, he first studied law, physics and chemistry at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin , but then matriculated in Berlin to study medicine . In 1858, while still a student, he became a corps bow bearer of the Hansea Bonn .

In 1862 received his doctorate Naunyn with the work De Echinococci evolutione (dt .: The development of hydatid ) and put in the same year his state exam. Then he began with microscopic anatomical studies, to which Karl Reichert and Nathanael Lieberkühn had advised him.

After the one- year voluntary year in the Prussian Army , Theodor Frerichs brought Bernhard Naunyn in 1863 as first assistant to the First Medical Clinic of the Charité . Under Frerich he was able to carry out studies on fever theory and jaundice , at the same time he researched diseases of the liver and biliary tract and dealt with the pathology and dietetics of diabetes mellitus . In 1867 Naunyn completed his habilitation at the Charité.

Temporary general practitioner in Berlin, he followed the call of Dorpat University in 1869 as professor of clinical therapy . In 1871 he moved to the University of Bern and in 1872/73 to the Albertus University in Königsberg as the successor to the internist Ernst von Leyden . With a one-semester break, he was Vice-Rector of the Albertina from 1884 to 1886 . In 1883 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . In the three Emperor's year of 1888 he finally went to the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität Strasbourg as Adolf Kussmaul's successor , where Naunyn led Oskar Minkowski, among others . In 1907 he was chairman of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Doctors .

In the various clinics, Naunyn has always dealt intensively with diseases of the nervous system, including being one of the first with the causes and effects of aphasia (speech disorders). Naunyn's pupils who later became famous included Minkowski, Hermann Eichhorst , Adolf Magnus-Levy (1865–1955), Wilhelm Weintraud (1866–1920) and Carl Gerhardt .

Grave of Bernhard Naunyn in Berlin-Kreuzberg

Naunyn withdrew from university offices in 1904 and took up residence in Baden-Baden . But during the First World War he was in charge of the reserve hospital in town. A particular challenge for Naunyn was the significant increase in the number of soldiers suffering from nephritis in September 1915. Naunyn demanded the purchase of an incandescent light bath for the necessary sweat baths for the sick. Since there were no electrical lines, only a cheaper hull light bath was used. After the war he resigned from the military corps Hansea.

Bernhard Naunyn died in Baden-Baden in 1925 at the age of 85. He was buried in Cemetery II of the Jerusalem and New Church in Berlin-Kreuzberg , near the final resting place of his father. He lies next to his wife Anna geb. Haebler (1852-1927). On the grave stele there is a relief with the portrait of Naunyn, possibly created by the sculptor Martin Meyer-Pyritz . Bernhard Naunyn's grave was dedicated to the State of Berlin from 1962 to 2012 as an honorary grave .
