from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund Dipper (born August 7, 1871 in Aries ; † March 8, 1933 in Beijing ), German doctor and university professor in Beijing.

Family and private

Dipper was the son of the teacher Heinrich Dipper and his wife Dorothea, geb. Leonhardt. His brothers were Heinrich Dipper , pastor and director of the Basel Mission and Eugen Dipper, pastor and teacher at the Mission House of the Basel Mission. Strongly influenced by the Protestant faith from his youth , Dipper was on the church advisory council of the Protestant Church in Beijing from 1923 until his death.

Dipper's first wife died soon after the marriage. In his second marriage he married Magdalene Louise, born in Tsingtau in 1914 . Stickforth. There is a son from this marriage.

Life

education

Dipper grew up in Stuttgart , where he graduated from the Karls-Gymnasium in 1889 . He studied medicine and in 1896 at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen doctorate . At that time he was already registered medical practitioner in Stuttgart and worked at senior physician Karl Friedrich Steinthal in the surgical department of the Evangelical Diakonissenanstalt Stuttgart as a medical assistant .

The Faber Hospital in Tsingtau

Tsingtau

At the end of 1900, Dipper took up a position as an employed doctor of the General Evangelical Protestant Missionary Association in Tsingtau. In this capacity, he founded a hospital for the Chinese population the following year. Since the mission association had taken on the financing, it was named after a deceased missionary Faber Hospital. In addition to his work as a missionary doctor and head of the Faber Hospital, Dipper practiced as a resident doctor.

The practice of general practitioners and gynecologists was so popular with the European population that in 1905 he had to resign from the mission association in order to be able to meet the requirements of his private practice. However, he was still available to support the Faber Hospital. When his former assistant doctor and successor Willy Wick left Tsingtau in 1906, Dipper took over the management of the hospital again.

At Dipper's suggestion, another clinic, the Faber Hospital, was built and opened in 1907 from donations from the congregation and the mission association for the European population of the colony. Dipper took over the management of the hospital. Two nurses were at his side.

In the last year of his stay in Tsingtau, Dipper also worked as a customs doctor for the Imperial Chinese Sea Customs Office.

When it became clear in 1908 that Dipper would return to Germany, he was able to win Richard Wunsch as an experienced doctor and successor to the management of the Faber Hospital .

Training in Germany

Dipper continued his education in Germany. In 1909 he passed the state medical exam in Stuttgart and then went to Magdeburg . There he took on a position as an assistant doctor at the Sudenburg Hospital to learn from the renowned Wilhelm Thorn in the gynecological department of the clinic . In 1912 Dipper moved back to Stuttgart.

The German Hospital in Beijing in 1929

In 1913, the sick association of the German community in Beijing appointed Dipper as chief physician of the former German military hospital. The conversion into a civil hospital could only take place during the war years. After China declared war on the German Reich in 1917, Dipper escaped deportation probably only because he was teaching at the Chinese Medical School in Beijing all the time. The hospital, which was later named Deutsches Hospital Peking , initially had a capacity of only 20 beds.

In 1922, the embassy doctor Paul Krieg joined as a further chief physician , who used the hospital as an embassy hospital. Within a few years the two succeeded in increasing the hospital's capacity to 110 beds by 1930. In order to be able to cope with the work, as early as 1923 they engaged the ophthalmologist Reinhold Grimm, known from Tsintau, and his brother, the gynecologist and surgeon John Grimm. However, the working atmosphere suffered from the rivalries between war and Dipper, so that John Grimm left Beijing soon. In 1924, Dipper was initially able to recruit three sisters from the Protestant Diakonissenanstalt Stuttgart as nursing staff. More deaconesses came in subsequent years to the German Hospital. In addition, activities were carried out by semi-skilled Chinese nurses. The excellent reputation that the hospital enjoyed under Dipper and Krieg never left a shortage of replacements for doctors and nurses who were leaving. In addition to his work at the German Hospital, Dipper maintained a private practice as a resident doctor for general medicine and gynecology and was professor at the Beijing Medical School from 1924 at the latest.

The medical council was highly regarded and was also consulted by members of the Chinese imperial family. The Chinese Emperor Puyi himself trusted him so much that in 1924, when he had to get to safety during internal political turmoil, he first fled to the German Hospital in order to go from there to the protection of the Japanese embassy.

military

In 1900 Dipper was an assistant doctor in the Landwehr 1st contingent in the Landwehr district of Stuttgart. During his stay in China, he continued to appear in the rankings as a medical officer in the reserve, most recently with the rank of medical officer .
