Carl Bardili

Carl Bardili 1637, oil portrait on wood by Conrad Melperger in the Tübingen Professorengalerie . The inscription identifies Bardili as a doctor of medicine and professor in Tübingen.

Carl Bardili (born May 26, 1600 in Stuttgart , † November 8, 1647 in Tübingen ) was a German physician, professor of medicine at the University of Tübingen and personal physician to Duke Eberhard III.

origin

Carl Bardili's grandfather Francois Bardilly, a Lutheran , immigrated to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach from Dole in Burgundy after 1565 . In 1565, Margrave Karl II moved his residence from Pforzheim to Durlach. Then the city experienced an economic and cultural boom. Many immigrants fled across the Rhine because of persecution in their home country, France. The Protestants were mainly Lutherans, Huguenots and Calvinists . Carl Bardili's father of the same name, Carl Bardili (* 1569 in Durlach, † 1609 in Stuttgart) already had the German family name Bardili.

Life

Duke Eberhard III. of Württemberg

Carl Bardili came as a pupil to the Evangelical Monastery in Tübingen and studied theology at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . As a repetitee at the monastery and "prospective pastor", he had a glorious, secure future ahead of him. His secret marriage to Regina Burckhardt in August 1625 was disapproved in Tübingen. This ended Bardili's career as a theologian.

The expelled pen repeater worked his way up to a famous doctor in a short time. He went to Strasbourg , where he studied medicine and received his doctorate after just two years. Then he became the personal physician of Duke Eberhard III of Württemberg . and in 1635 received one of the two chairs for medicine in Tübingen. He held the post of rector of the Eberhard Karls University twice, in 1639 and 1643.

In November 1647, a year before the end of the Thirty Years War , Bardili died suddenly at the age of 47 from the effects of an acute infectious disease.

Marriage and offspring

marriage

On August 14, 1625, Bardili married Regina Burckhardt, who was one year older and five months pregnant. Regina Burckhardt (born November 5, 1599 in Tübingen; † December 31, 1669 in Tübingen) was the youngest daughter from the second marriage of the Tübingen rhetoric professor Georg Burckhardt . She had a dubious reputation, having given birth to an illegitimate child in 1622 to a student who died that same year. The couple therefore secretly married “abroad”: in Pfäffingen , a village only a few kilometers away that did not belong to Württemberg. The marriage of the young theologian thus took place without the permission of the church superiors. When this became known in Tübingen, Bardili's career as a theologian came to an end.

Regina Bardili was later recognized by her contemporaries as a "rare and strong personality".

The couple's marriage resulted in eleven children, all of whom were born in Tübingen:
