Ernst Meyer (doctor)
Ernst Meyer (born May 10, 1871 in Göttingen ; † December 3, 1931 in Königsberg i. Pr. ) Was a German psychiatrist and university professor.
Life
Born the son of the psychiatrist Ludwig Meyer , Ernst Meyer studied medicine at the Philipps University in Marburg and the Georg August University in Göttingen . From 1889 he was a member of the Corps Teutonia Marburg .
After the state examination and his doctorate (1894) he was an assistant doctor at the clinics in Göttingen, the Eberhard Karls University and the Christian Albrechts University . He completed his habilitation in 1900 and became a private lecturer . In 1904 he received an associate's post at the Albertus University in Königsberg . When it was upgraded to full professorship in 1906, the University appointed Meyer as full professor and director of the psychiatric clinic. A few years later work began on building a new mental hospital on Veilchenberg in Amalienau . The nursing and teaching institution, inaugurated in 1913, has long been considered a prototype for Germany. Meyer married Käthe Schmieden from Berlin in 1913. The marriage had four children.
Meyer mainly researched the organic causes of mental illness.
In 1918/19 he was the last prorector of the Albertus University. He withdrew when the rector , Crown Prince Wilhelm , had left the country and a student committee had to represent the student body and the teaching staff, including the civil servants, vis-à-vis the new rulers. Meyer died in office at the age of 60 after a long period of sick leave.
His son Hans-Hermann Meyer (1909–2000) became full professor of psychiatry and neurology at the Saarland University and director of the University Psychiatric Clinic. His son Joachim-Ernst Meyer (1917–1998) became professor of psychiatry in Göttingen.
