Life
After graduating as Dr. med. at the University of Marburg in 1781, David Busch became an associate professor of physiology, surgery and pharmacology at his home university that same year, and a year later a full professor. From 1786 he was a city and country physician in Marburg. As director of the veterinary school (Zootomisches Theater) he also taught cattle medicine, and he succeeded Georg Wilhelm Stein as director of the maternity hospital from 1820 to 1824, after he had already become a midwifery teacher in 1789. Between 1784 and 1830 he was often dean of the medical faculty.
David Busch had also been a member of the Political Science Institute founded by Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling from 1789, and as its head he served several times between 1782 and 1829. In 1815 he received the title of Electoral Hessian Councilor and in 1827 Privy Councilor .
His father was the Marburg doctor of Johann Jakob Busch , his son the surgeon and obstetrician Dietrich Wilhelm Heinrich Busch . Like father and son, he was an active Freemason , first in the Marburg Lodge Zum krönten Löwen from 1778 until Freemasonry was banned in the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel in 1793, and after the re-establishment of the Lodge Marc Aurel zum Flammenden Stern in 1812 it was a member, including as a master from the chair and as a representative of the Great Mother Lodge of Kurhessen until the renewed ban in 1824.
