Christian Jeremias Rollin
Christian Jeremias Rollin (born February 9 or 10, 1703 in Kassel ; † January 18, 1781 in Braunschweig ) was a German doctor and professor of anatomy in Göttingen and Braunschweig.
Life
The father Rollins, expelled from France, worked as a coin commissioner in Kassel. Rollin attended high school in Kassel and then the Collegium Carolinum there . He studied anatomy in Berlin and Potsdam, natural history, mechanics and the art of melting in Kassel, and medicinal art with Herman Boerhaave for three years at the University of Leiden . Due to a lung disease, he went to London, then moved via Rotterdam and Amsterdam under a false name to Paris, from where he returned to Kassel.
Studied and taught in Göttingen
Rollin continued his medical studies at the University of Göttingen , founded in 1737 . He became a prosector with Albrecht von Haller and received a professorship in anatomy soon after his doctorate in 1742. During his time in Göttingen, Rollin organized two private fossil collections and created the illustrations for Haller's anatomical and botanical works. Health reasons forced Rollin to stop teaching as early as 1745.
Activity in Braunschweig
He established himself as a general practitioner in Moringen . He turned down a call to the medical faculty of Uppsala University in 1746. In 1750 he accepted an invitation to the newly founded Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig, where he worked as a professor of anatomy. From 1751 he also worked at the Anatomical-Surgical Institute and as an assessor of the Collegium Medicum . In addition to his anatomy lectures, he also read on botany and legal sections . Rollin held both offices until his death in 1781. His successor as professor of anatomy was Johann Stephan Hausmann (1754–1784) in 1782 .
