Christian Heinrich Theodor Schreger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Heinrich Theodor Schreger (born January 20, 1768 in Zeitz ; † December 29, 1833 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German doctor and chemist.

The son of the vice-principal Nathanael Glaubrecht Schreger and brother of Bernhard Nathanael Gottlob Schreger began his law studies in Leipzig in 1785. On the advice of his doctor, however, he switched to teaching agriculture, took over a position as a private tutor and became the economic manager of a manor. At the urging of his brother, he began studying medicine in Wittenberg in 1794 and continued it in Altdorf and later in Erlangen. He was awarded a Dr. med. doctorate and settled there as a general practitioner.

In 1810 he was appointed third full professor of chemistry and drug theory (pharmacy) at the University of Wittenberg .

After unrest broke out, he went to Schmiedeberg and wrote the Cosmetic Pocket Book for Women (1812), before returning to the University of Halle as a full professor of medicine in 1816.
