Emil von Russdorf

Emil von Rußdorf , pseudonym Emil Mecklenburg (born August 16, 1813 in Ankershagen , † May 31, 1868 in Berlin ), was a physician, author and Mecklenburg politician.

Life

Origin and family

Emil von Rußdorf was a member of a Mecklenburg pastor family who was raised to the nobility in 1801 . Emil was the youngest of seven children of Pastor Ludolf von Rußdorf (1773–1822) and the landlord's daughter (Sophie Caroline) Wilhelmine, née. Müller (1783-1856). His older brother Adolf Friedrich (Ludwig) Nicolaus von Rußdorf (* 1802), who died in Stavenhagen , was a doctor of law . Both remained unmarried.

Career

Russdorf probably attended the scholars' school in Neubrandenburg and studied human medicine at the universities of Greifswald and Berlin . In Berlin he was in 1839 with a dissertation on the surgical Dr. med. PhD.

Under the pseudonym Emil Mecklenburg he published several literary works in the 1840s. Apparently he also traveled a lot during this time, for example to St. Petersburg and Switzerland , as his Poetisches Reisebuch (1847) attests to.

As a parliamentarian, he was a member of the Mecklenburg Assembly of Representatives for the constituency of Mecklenburg-Schwerin 58 / Rostock in 1848 .

At the beginning of 1851 he received his Prussian license to practice medicine and surgeon in the royal lands and last practiced as a senior physician at the Friedrich Wilhelm Hospital in Berlin . He was the author of numerous popular scientific publications on medical and scientific questions.

He was buried in Cemetery III of the Jerusalem and New Church Congregation.
