Life

Felix Thierfelder came from a widely ramified medical family and was the second son of Meißen city ​​physicist Johann Gottlieb Thierfelder (1799–1867) and his wife Henriette, nee. Immisch, doctor's daughter from Knauthain near Leipzig. His older brother was the secret senior medical officer Theodor Thierfelder (1824–1904); his younger brother was the pathologist (Ferdinand) Albert Thierfelder (1842-1908).

After graduating from the Fürstenschule St. Afra zu Meißen , he studied medicine at the University of Leipzig from 1846 . On May 5, 1852 he received his doctorate there with the text "De regeneratione tendinum" and was then initially an assistant doctor in Zwickau and Dresden.

From 1854 to 1871 he worked as a general practitioner in his hometown of Meißen. In 1871 he became chief physician at the Bethlehem Abbey in Ludwigslust, Mecklenburg . Since July 1, 1876, he had the title of Medical Councilor. In 1877 he moved to the institute for epileptics in Königswartha ( Lausitz ) and was then senior physician at the Hubertusburg insane asylum in Wermsdorf from 1883 to 1890 .

Thierfelder was married to Anna Naumann (1827–1872), born in Knauthain near Leipzig, daughter of the chief catechist and early preacher at St. Petri in Leipzig, Wilhelm Naumann, and sister of his brother Theodor's wife. In his second marriage from 1876 he was married to Anna Lange (1840–1877), daughter of the Dresden merchant Joh. Wilhelm Lange. The third wife was from 1878 Eleonore zur Nedden (1843–1927), b. zu Grevesmühlen, daughter of the later Oberkirchenrat zu Schwerin Adolf zur Nedden. His son Ulrich (Ernst Clemens) Thierfelder (born January 21, 1883 in Königswartha) also became a doctor after studying in Rostock and Leipzig and practiced in Schwerin from 1919.
