Carl Friedrich Flemming
Carl Friedrich Flemming (born December 27, 1799 in Jüterbog , † January 27, 1880 in Wiesbaden ) was a German psychiatrist.
Life
Flemming received his doctorate in Berlin . He then worked as an assistant doctor in the “ Sonnenstein mental hospital ” near Pirna (Saxony).
In 1823 he entered the state service because of a call from the Mecklenburg Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I to Schwerin . There he chose the Sachsenberg near Medewege north of Schwerin in 1823 as the location for the newly built sanatorium for the mentally ill, the Grand Ducal Insane Asylum . The 180-meter-long, multi-wing, two-storey plastered building of the new lunatic sanatorium in Sachsenberg , today's Carl Friedrich Flemming Clinic , was built from 1825 onwards, based on designs by court building officer Georg Adolph Demmler and master builder Carl Heinrich Wünsch . After the inauguration on January 15, 1830, Flemming became its first director with Otto Kychenthal as economic manager.
In 1854 Flemming resigned from this office in a dispute and then practiced as a neurologist in Schwerin.
The family grave, covered with a large sandstone slab for his first wife Carolina Sophia Flemming, who died at the age of 24, is located in the Sachsenberg cemetery . He himself was buried in the old cemetery in grave field IIb at berth 544. Why the grave site of the Secret Medical Council was given a new allocation in 1961 is incomprehensible. At the southwest corner of the main building of today's mental hospital, a stele reminds of the humanitarian work of the important neurologist. Flemming's bronze relief on the memorial was created in 1882 by the Dobbertin- born sculptor Gustav Willgohs .
His son was the anatomist and cell biologist Walther Flemming (1843-1905).
