Life

Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff was the son of the merchant in the Calenberger Neustadt of Hanover Johann Georg Friedrich Bischoff (1750-1804) and his wife Louise Margaretha Elise, née Bock. Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff studied medicine with Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland at the University of Jena and received his doctorate in Jena in 1801 with his dissertation De usu galvanismi in arte medica . Then he was initially assistant to Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland in Berlin before he was appointed professor of physiology at the medical-surgical college in 1804. In 1805 he went to Barmen as a district physician and in 1808 took over the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1813 he became Grand Ducal Bergisch staff doctor and in 1814 General Staff Doctor at the field hospital of the 5th Army Corps on the Upper Rhine.

In October 1818 he was appointed professor of pharmacology and state medicine at the University of Bonn , which was newly founded on October 18, 1818 , where he subsequently stayed for over forty years until his death in 1861, but did not give any lectures in the last few years held more.

Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff, who was appointed Royal Prussian Privy Councilor, remained influenced throughout his life by Schelling's natural philosophy , which his teacher Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling had conveyed to him in Jena. However, his writings are still at the center of some very massive criticism because of his own style of writing. As early as 1816, the Prussian general physician August Ferdinand Wasserfuhr published his first critical comments on the work published in 1815 on the healing nature of the German armies.

Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff was born on November 28, 1818 under the matriculation number. 1095 with the academic surnamed Aristobulus I. as a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina added.

For his services he was awarded the Order of St. Anne, second class.

During his studies and his time as assistant to Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff had a relationship with his wife Juliane (1771–1845), née Amelung, who came from Weißenbach in the Rhön and was a daughter of Pastor Gotthelf Hieronymus Amelung (1742–1800) and his wife Helene Juliane (1747–1822), née Thon. After 18 years of marriage with seven children, Juliane Hufeland separated from Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland because, as personal physician, he accompanied Queen Luise of Prussia on her escape from the approaching Napoleonic troops to Königsberg without bringing her own wife and children to safety. She got a divorce and had a child in October 1807, the later physiologist Theodor Ludwig Wilhelm Bischoff . On May 7, 1809, Christoph Heinrich Ernst Bischoff and Juliane Ameling, divorced Hufeland, married in Hähnlein , where Juliane, after separating from her husband, received the former Hainer Hof estate, which had previously been purchased in 1797 for 30,000 guilders, and set up her residence there.

One year after the death of his wife Juliane, on March 9, 1846, he married Arnoldine Henriette Stein (1810 – after 1861), a daughter of Professor Georg Wilhelm Stein from Bonn and his wife Wilhelmine Elisabeth, née Prollius.
