Erhard Hartung , since 1867 Hartung von Hartungen (born January 17, 1819 in Teschen in Silesia, today Cieszyn ; † September 9, 1893 in Weidling near Vienna ; according to family counting Erhard I. ) was an Austrian doctor and homeopath.

Life

Erhard Hartung was one of the sons of the doctor and pioneer of homeopathy Christoph Hartung . He spent his youth in Teschen, Brünn , Salzburg and Milan , where he graduated, and then studied medicine in Vienna with Carl von Rokitansky , Joseph Julius Czermak and Stanislaus von Töltenyi . In 1845 he submitted his dissertation with the title Recentiora quaedam circa theoriam ed thereapiam rheumatissimi . In 1846 he married Maria Habermann, daughter of an Iglau cloth manufacturer. In 1849 the son Christoph , later human medicine, and in 1856 the son Eugen, later veterinary medicine, was born in Vienna.

After completing his studies, Hartung went through numerous stations as a secondary doctor at the Vienna General Hospital and the Vienna City Hospital. Although he was trained in conventional medicine by the university, he showed himself to be significantly more influenced by homeopathy after private studies with his father. His decades of theoretical and practical work for homeopathy in freelance practice in Vienna made a considerable contribution to the popularity of homeopathy and strengthened its reputation in all social classes in Vienna. Hartung was the personal physician of the exiled King George V of Hanover and a sought-after physician for numerous nobles, high officials, the military (such as Heinrich von Hess ) and dignitaries, including the Liechtenstein , Lobkowitz and Schwarzenberg families . In addition to his elegant practice, Hartung ran an extensive poor practice in which he - even during epidemics - appeared completely unselfish.

In addition to his involvement in the Austrian Medical Association , Hartung was also a member of the Central Association for Homeopathy and the Doctoren Collegium of the Medical and Surgical Faculty of the University of Vienna . In 1867, Hartung, who spoke French, Polish and Italian in addition to German, was raised to the hereditary Austrian nobility by Franz Joseph I with the predicate "von Hartungen". Georg V appointed him a knight of the Guelph Order and Ernst August Order .

Hartung's country estate in Weidling was the meeting point of an extensive circle of relatives and friends, including the sculptor Johann Meixner , the Viennese artist family Klieber, the painter Carl Goebel , the rector of the University of Budapest Rapaics Rajmund and the imperial counts of Wolkenstein-Trostburg . His Hartung descendants - beginning with his father - have been in the medical tradition without interruption since 1798.
