Carl Fried

Carl Fried , Carl Simon Fried (born July 22, 1889 in Bamberg , died June 2, 1958 in São Paulo ) was a German doctor. From 1928/1929 he was head of the newly founded radiation therapy at the Jewish hospital in Breslau .

Life

The war memorial for the fallen members of the Worms Israelite community in the New Jewish Cemetery in Worms was initiated by Carl Fried

During the First World War , Carl Fried was a field doctor for the German Empire and was honored several times for his bravery. After the war, he was hired in 1920 by Lothar Heidenhain , a professor of medicine in Worms , who became his inspiration and sponsor. Both are considered to be systematic of inflammatory radiation using X-rays .

In 1923 Carl Fried married Emilie Gertrude Strauss, who came from Erbes-Büdesheim , and with her he had two sons, Rainer, Gustav and Robert.

During his time in Worms he was chairman of the local branch of the Reichsbundischer Frontsoldaten and organized a number of events, including a celebration in 1925 on the occasion of the almost two millennia-old "bond between German Jews and our fatherland ."

In 1928/29 Fried took over the management of the newly founded radiation therapy at the Jewish hospital in Breslau. Natan Littauer from the USA donated this department and had it set up according to Fried's ideas. In 1930, together with Berger, he developed the "Fried-Bergersche Tonne", an irradiation device. After the November pogroms in 1938 he was arrested in hospital on November 13th and transported to Buchenwald concentration camp . The circumstances of this arrest are described by Siegmund Hadda and were reproduced by Wolfgang GH Schmitt. He was released in December and, under previously unknown circumstances, was able to leave Germany and flee to São Paulo via New York. There he became head and professor of the X-ray and Radium Institute São Francisco de Assis.

As in Worms, he was still a member of the literary gentlemen's association Schlaraffia and dedicated himself to the maintenance of German culture and poetry. A number of his poems were published by BA Aust in 1954. Grandson of Carl Fried and a grandson of his wife's sister Trude are planning, together with WGHSchmitt, to publish around 130 pages of Fried's poems.
