Life

As one of the many children of a master tailor , Deckmann grew up in modest circumstances. Interested in medicine at a very early age , he therefore applied for the lowest position in the Rendsburg military after school . Supported by the regimental surgeon , he was briefly on leave at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel and in 1820 for a few years at the Royal Surgical Academy . Not only did he pass the final exam there, but also the official medical examination at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Copenhagen with distinction. Back in Kiel, he was awarded a Dr. med. PhD . After he had taken over Carl Ferdinand Suadicani's large medical practice in Schleswig in the spring of 1824 , Deckmann gained respect and wealth. He married Franke from Rendsburg , who gave him two daughters and who died early. On the recommendation of Adolf Friedrich Lüders , the director of Kiel's academic hospital, Deckmann became an associate professor and prosector in Kiel in October 1829 . He taught anatomy and surgery to students in dissecting courses and lectures . In addition, he sought to revive "the almost completely extinct general study of anthropology ". In January 1830 he helped Rudolf Wiedemann with the second caesarean delivery of a Holstein woman. In December 1833 Deckmann was appointed full professor and head of the Friedrichshospital in Kiel. After he had survived bloodfalls in 1833 and 1834 , he was in Italy in 1835/36 . When he died shortly before his 39th birthday, colleagues and students brought him an academic funeral . The Senate issued a memorandum in his honor.
