Ferdinand Krismann

Ferdinand Krismann (born October 30, 1852 in Werl ; † May 17, 1933 in Salzkotten ) was a German doctor and local politician.

Live and act

After graduating from high school Theodorianum in Paderborn (Abitur 1872), Krismann studied at the universities of Marburg ( Physikum ) and Greifswald . In Greifswald he received his doctorate in 1877 on "Partial resection of the elbow and ankle" . His resection research soon became recognized as the standard in orthopedics, particularly his thesis that partial resection of the tarsal bone is the fastest way to heal in obsolete high-grade pes varus ( clubfoot ) . Up until this point in time, it was common in medicine to use conservative treatment. It was not uncommon for the corresponding limb to be amputated at the time.

Krismann worked in Salzkotten as a doctor, medical adviser and local politician. The city of Salzkotten granted him honorary citizenship in 1927 on the 50th anniversary of his doctorate because of his achievements in medicine, but especially for his social commitment to socially disadvantaged fellow citizens.
