Erich Feiler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Feiler (born April 21, 1882 in Breslau , † March 16, 1940 in London ) was a German dentist.

Life and activity

Feiler was a son of the businessman Louis Feiler (* 1891) and a brother of Arthur Feiler . After attending school, he studied medicine. In 1903 he received his dental license in Breslau. In 1905 he received his doctorate in Heidelberg . He then worked as an assistant in Heidelberg, Hamburg , Cologne and Breslau . In 1912 Feiler received his habilitation in dentistry in Breslau.

From 1914 to 1917 Feiler took part in the First World War. In 1917 he was appointed associate professor at the Royal University of Frankfurt am Main , where he taught until 1934 and, as the successor to Schäffer-Stuckert, headed the Carolinum Dental Clinic .

After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, Feiler was forced to retire in 1934 due to his - according to National Socialist definition - Jewish descent. He emigrated to London , where he established himself as a dentist.

After his emigration, the National Socialist police authorities classified Feiler as an enemy of the state: In the spring of 1940 the Reich Main Security Office in Berlin - which knew nothing of his death in the meantime - put him on the special wanted list GB , a directory of people who would be killed in the event of a successful invasion and occupation of the British Isles should be located and arrested by the Wehrmacht from the occupation troops following special commandos of the SS with special priority.

Feiler's main research areas were conservative dentistry, the physiology of teeth and periodontosis .
