Ernst von Grossi
Ernst von Grossi (also Ernest von Grossi ) (born July 21, 1782 in Passau , † December 29, 1829 in Munich ) was a German physician and university professor.
Life
Ernst von Grossi son of Italian Joseph Anton von Grossi († 29 April 1808 in Passau), was a privy councilor and personal physician of the Prince-Bishop Leopold Ernst von Firmian , and his wife Aloysia of Grossi, daughter of Joseph Anton Sambuga . His brother Leopold, who was eleven months older, died at the age of four; he also had two sisters.
Ernst von Grossi completed his high school studies at the Episcopale et Academicum high school in Passau with the teachers Joachim Thomas Schuhbauer (1743-1812) and Josef Millbiller (1753-1816), among others. In 1797 he began to study medicine at the University of Vienna and heard lectures from Johann Peter Frank and Anton von Störck . In August 1801 he passed the medical exam rigorosum and on December 22, 1801 he was awarded the doctoral degree. He then practiced as a second professor at the Passau hospital until the diocese was secularized in 1803 . For further training he then went to Halle , Berlin and Paris , the plan for this was designed by Johann Jakob Hartenkeil , a friend of his father's. In Halle he had contact with the professors of the medical faculty Johann Christian Reil , Kurt Sprengel and Justus Christian Loder, and he studied the Meckel collection , which he expanded by studying the collection of Johann Gottlieb Walter in Berlin.
In 1804 he broke off the trip in Halle, because by decree of July 2, 1804 by Ferdinand III. was appointed professor of anatomy and physiology, pathology and general therapy at the University of Salzburg and was to become a member of the medical council; the return journey took place via the University of Göttingen and for a short time via Berlin.
After Salzburg came under Austrian rule in 1806, he returned to Passau as a general practitioner to support his father and was appointed court counselor and hospital doctor there. In 1808 he got a job as district medical advisor at the General Commissariat of the Lower Danube District . Due to the war, he gained a lot of practical experience in the Passau French military hospital, which had been set up in Freudenhain Castle .
In December 1809 he was appointed professor of therapy in the clinic of the surgical school in Munich, he resigned from office in 1814, but stayed in Munich and occupied himself with the operation of his practice and his studies. In 1817 he became the fifth senior medical adviser to the senior medical college, which was responsible for the organization of the entire medical system in Bavaria.
In 1824, after the dissolution of the college, he took on another teaching position as professor of general pathology and therapy and semiotics at the medical-surgical institute, for which he was entrusted with the formation and takeover of a general hospital.
In 1826 he made a scientific trip to France , Spain , Portugal and England . In Paris he attended the lectures of Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville and the dermatologist Laurent Theodore Biett (1781–1840); he also took part in the meeting of the Academy of Sciences , in the place of honor for foreign scholars. From there he made a sea voyage along the coast of Portugal and returned to Munich via London. On his return he took up the clinical professorship at the university that had moved from Landshut to Munich. Due to an incorrectly treated pleurisy , he died at the age of 47.
In his honor, encouraged by his students, a bust was erected in the garden of the general hospital on his birthday in 1831.
From 1804 to 1817 he worked for the Medicinisch-Chirurgische Zeitung which Johann Jakob Hartenkeil published and wrote various articles for it. He also played a major role in editing the Pharmacopoeia Bavarica Iussu Regio Edita and translated from the Italian Paul Assalini: Pocket book for surgeons and physicians in armies.
In 1805 he married Lina, b. von Huéb, with whom he had a child, who, however, died shortly after the birth.
