Life

Christian Martens was a son of the pastor Peter Martens (born December 7, 1804 in Flensburg, † June 7, 1886 in Kiel). The father became provost in Schleswig , where Christian spent a large part of his youth. After his father was called to the Frederikskirche in Copenhagen , Christian attended the metropolitan school there. When he moved to Kiel with his parents , he studied medicine at Christian Albrechts University from 1866 . As a member of the Troglodytia student union founded in 1864 , he went to the Friedrichs University in Halle with his younger brother Ernst Martens . Both became active on October 24th in the Landsmannschaft Neoborussia Halle . When two other troglodytes became New Prussians, both leagues formed a cartel . Christian was consenior for two semesters in 1869/70 .

When the Franco-Prussian War broke out , he volunteered with the other New Prussians to join the reserve battalion of Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 86 in Flensburg. As a naturalized Dane, his brother “Iltis” could only take part in the war as a nurse. He died of typhus during the siege of Metz . He was the only active New Prussian who did not return home from the war. Christian was in 1873 the state examination in Kiel and received his doctorate in 1874 at the Hessian Ludwigs University for Dr. med. He was an assistant doctor at the Lazarus Hospital in Berlin and Michaelis went to Vienna in 1874 . There he received the ribbon of the Marcomannia country team. Michaelis in 1875 he settled in Schleswig as a general practitioner. There he married. At the request of his wife, he moved to Hadersleben in North Schleswig in 1879 . He stayed there until the end of his life. When his wife died after seven years of marriage, he married for the second time in 1892.

He sat on the board of the medical association and was chairman of the medical court of honor . Initially a city ​​councilor , he was elected unpaid councilor of Hadersleben in 1894 . He was a member of the district committee of Hadersleben district . In the new elections for the Schleswig-Holstein Provincial Parliament on April 1, 1913, he was elected to the Provincial Parliament for six years as a member of the Hadersleben district (along with two other members of this group). As a medical officer in the Landwehr , he promoted the war clubs to the best of his ability . Although he had already restricted his medical practice due to health problems, he made himself available to the medical service at the beginning of the First World War . As a senior staff doctor, he was in charge of the Hadersleben reserve hospital. For his self-sacrificing work he was awarded the Iron Cross on a white ribbon.

Martens contributed significantly to the fact that the cartel concluded in 1857 between Neoborussia and the Landsmannschaft Plavia Leipzig was expanded to include troglodytia (1873). The silver cartel developed out of this Triple Alliance . Transferred to Corps Neoborussia Halle in 1897 , “Fuß” remained closely linked to his association throughout his life. In his will he bequeathed him 3,000  marks . In agreement with the widow, the Christian Martens Foundation was established with the money . By granting loans , it should make it easier for the active and inactive to meet their obligations to the corps and the corps house .
