Life

Ernst Sandberg was born the son of a businessman.

He attended high school in Groß-Glogau and Lissa and, after passing the Abitur exam, began studying medicine at the medical faculty of the University of Wroclaw . In June 1870 he passed the Tentamen physicum and in January 1872 the Examen rigorosum . On March 26, 1872 he received his doctorate with On the pathological excretion of blood pigment ; he dedicated this work to his teacher Hermann Lebert , to whom he felt particularly indebted.

The Fränckelsche Hospital in the Antoniestrasse in Breslau

In 1873 he was employed as an assistant doctor at the old Jewish hospital, the Fränckelschen Hospital, in Breslau and worked in this position until 1889, when, after the death of his boss, Privy Councilor Jonas Graetzer (1806-1889), he succeeded him as the primary doctor of the Hospital was appointed; in the later 1880s he also opened a private practice for the treatment of internal diseases. Just a few days after taking up his post as senior physician, he presented the board of the Israelitische Kranken-Verpflegungs-Anstalt und Funeralanstalt zu Breslau (IKVA) with an expert opinion with numerous suggestions for improvement with regard to the functioning of the hospital, which were subsequently implemented.

In 1903 the IKVA was established with the help of donations amounting to over 2 million marks, the Breslau merchant Markus Fuchs bequeathed a legacy of 250,000 marks to the association and the widow of Moritz Hirsch von Gereuth , Clara, who lived in Paris , provided a sum of 300,000 marks Available, in the south of the city a large building. During this time he moved to the new hospital in Hohenzollernstrasse, where he was no longer able to take over sole management when the beds were enlarged from 50 to 250, but instead restricted himself to managing the internal department.

Ernst Sandberg was not only the head of the state nursing school , but passed on the knowledge he had acquired less through publications than through practical training; In 1904 there were only 90 internists in Prussia . In the last few years before the start of the war, a large number of doctors came every day from Breslau as well as from abroad in order to be able to carry out the daily rounds with him. As a result, over the course of time he trained many general practitioners who later became sought-after doctors themselves.
