Carl Stamm (born March 15, 1867 in Hedemünden , † October 28, 1941 in Hamburg ) was a German pediatrician of Jewish origin.

life and work

Stamm studied medicine at the Universities of Göttingen , Munich and Berlin , and received his doctorate in Göttingen in 1890. He then completed his specialist training at hospitals in Berlin and Hamburg from 1891 to 1893 . From 1898 he headed the children's outpatient clinic in Hamburg-Rothenburgsort , which he co-founded in the same year , which later became the Rothenburgsort Children's Hospital , and served as its chief physician until 1933.

In 1928 the Hamburg Senate awarded him, in recognition of his many years of medical work in Rothenburgsort, the " Medal for faithful work in the service of the people ", which had been donated two years earlier and which has been awarded to the present day . In the spring of 1933 he had to leave the hospital because of his Jewish origins. Until his license to practice medicine was withdrawn in 1938, he was able to run his own practice. When he and his wife were to be deported in 1941, the couple committed suicide.

In 2010 the Hexenpark in Rothenburgsort was renamed Carl-Stamm-Park.
