Ferdinand Breuer

Ferdinand Breuer (born January 5, 1870 in Nörvenich- Binsfeld , Düren district; † 1946 there ) was a popular doctor in Cologne's Severinsviertel.

Life

Breuer first studied medicine in Bonn and Freiburg. In 1896 he became a private assistant to the Secret Medical Council Bardenheuer. From 1908 Breuer worked as chief physician at the Antonius Hospital in Cologne-Bayenthal and was thus responsible for around 450 patients. He quickly became known as a specialist in surgery and gynecology. Ferdinand Breuer also ran a private practice in Cologne's Severinsviertel. He also made house calls in his car. He treated poorer patients who visited his practice in Cologne's Severinsviertel free of charge over a longer period of time. Ferdinand Breuer then paid for the medication out of his own pocket. In 1932 Breuer ended his work in the hospital; his private department in the hospital and his practice in Cologne on Landsbergstrasse remained. Known as a popular doctor, he drew the nickname "Dr. Zweistuhl". When his practice in Cologne was bombed out in 1945, he moved to his estate in Binsfeld and continued to work as a doctor until his death in 1946. Because of his generosity towards his home village, the Nörvenich community renamed Faulgasse to Nörvenich-Binsfeld in 1973 to Dr-Breuer-Straße.
