Speesch curve

Ferdinand Vincentius Joseph Hubertus Graf von Spee (born April 5, 1855 in Glindfeld ( Medebach ), † March 14, 1937 in Kiel ) was a German anatomist . From 1879 to 1882 he studied medicine and humanities in Bonn and Kiel. The Spee curve is named after him, the arch that connects the incisal edges and cusps of the upper teeth and touches the joint head of the lower jaw ( condyle ) towards the ear .

Life

Ferdinand was the firstborn of the couple Rudolf Graf von Spee (1822–1881) and Fernanda, née Tutein (1832–1913). The couple had two daughters and four more sons. The latter included Maximilian Graf von Spee , who died in a naval battle near the Falkland Islands in 1914 .

Ferdinand initially received private tuition in his place of birth. From 1865 he attended high school in Lucerne and was then a high school student in Cologne , where he passed the Prussian Abitur exam.

He studied medicine from 1875 in Bonn up to the Physikum. He completed his military service in Kiel from 1878 to 1879. He then continued his medical studies in Kiel, especially with the physiologist and marine researcher Victor Hensen . With him he received his doctorate in 1881 on the early embryonic development of guinea pigs . For his habilitation in 1883 he treated the function of the intestinal villi.

Ferdinand von Spee and Anna Schaafhausen married on April 3, 1897; in 1899 they moved into a villa in Niemannsweg 17 in Kiel. The couple remained childless.

Scientific career

He began his career in 1882 as a scientific assistant for embryology at the women's clinic at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and went to the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg as a scientific assistant for surgery for a year . When he returned to Kiel, he continued his work, initially as a scientific assistant, and from 1885 as a private lecturer in embryology and physiological anatomy at the Physiological Institute in Kiel. On November 1, 1887, he moved to the Anatomical Institute of the University in Kiel's Hegewischstrasse as a prosector .

Graf von Spee received the appointment as associate professor on March 14, 1891, but was not “employed on the budget” until April 1, 1898. His boss was none other than Walther Flemming , who was relieved of all duties at the university on October 1, 1902 for health reasons. For his successor, contrary to academic custom, Flemming did not make a three-way proposal : “But after careful consideration I find that Graf von Spee is absolutely the man that Kiel needs for anatomy, and has proven himself so much as such that we should only name him alone and first what I have done here. "

On December 15, 1902, Kaiser Wilhelm II personally appoints the count to the position of full professor of anatomy. For 21 years from 1902 to 1923 he worked as a full professor and director of the Anatomical Institute.
