from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Halbach von der Phorten (also: von der Pforte, von der Porten ; * December 11, 1581 in Laptau / Prussia; † January 3, 1635 in Königsberg (Prussia) ) was a German physician.

Life

Daniel comes from a noble family. His grandfather Dietrich Halbach had settled in Düsseldorf and had received the title of nobility from the emperor. His father Godschalk Halbach von der Phorten came from his marriage to Maria von Bergden. His father married Katharina, the daughter of the deacon in Friedland Erasmus Landenberg, in 1576. Several children arose from this marriage, a large number of whom died at a young age. At the age of fifteen he was enrolled at the University of Königsberg on August 4, 1596 .

He seems to have enjoyed his first training in pedagogy here and then started studying philosophical sciences at the University of Königsberg. He continued his studies on October 29, 1602 at the University of Wittenberg and 1606 at the University of Marburg . Returning to Königsberg, he became a teacher at the Königsberg Pedagogy in 1608 and on April 8, 1609, acquired the master's degree in philosophical sciences at the affiliated university. He had also pursued medical studies and enrolled at the University of Basel on April 8, 1612 . He completed this study on December 11, 1613 with the dissertation De iudiciis in genere , whereupon he received his doctorate on January 6, 1614 at the local university to become a doctor of medicine.

When he returned to Konigsberg, he was given the full professorship for practical philosophy in 1615. In 1616 he became an associate professor of medicine and a full professor of physics. After being appointed elector's personal physician on May 18, 1618, he resigned his professorship in philosophy in 1619 and was the first person in the history of the Königsberg University to be appointed third full professor of medicine. In 1622 he was promoted to the second full professorship and, in this role, took part in the university's organizational tasks in the summer semester of 1623 and in the winter semesters 1627/28 and 1631/32 as the rector of the Alma Mater .
