Franz Caspar Benedikt Egloff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Caspar Benedikt Egloff (born January 8, 1715 in Innsbruck , † 1797 in Innsbruck-Wilten ) was an Austrian doctor and professor at the University of Innsbruck .

Life

Franz Caspar Benedikt Egloff (von Statthof) was a son of Franz Carl Anton Egloff (von Statthof), who was also a professor at the University of Innsbruck. (The addition of Statthof to the name refers to the internationally known Kurgasthof in Baden (Switzerland) , which was acquired by his great-grandfather and has been in the family for generations.)

His godfather was Anton Ernest Fugger , Count of Kirchberg. In 1736 he married Maria Anna Clara Susanna von Bohemstein and Fabiani de Bechetti , with whom he had seven children, including the later councilor Franz Josef Alois Egloff (1737-1794), whose daughter Beatrix Dominica married the Swiss government councilor Joseph Dominik Rogg . The blind poet Luise Egloff was the granddaughter of Franz Josef Alois.

Another son (of Franz Caspar Benedikt) was Vinzenz Conrad Josef Egloff (1743-1805), later councilor and senior government councilor, whose godfather was councilor Joseph Nikolaus von Lodron , whose family was supported by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . Mozart dedicated his 7th piano concerto ("Lodron Concerto") to them in 1776 .

From 1755 to 1781 he owned the Palais Troyer-Spaur at Maria-Theresiastrasse 39 in the old town of Innsbruck.

Services

Egloff was court physician and city physico (city doctor) and in 1750 took over the chair for anatomy and surgery at the University of Innsbruck from his predecessor Hieronimus Leopoldus Bacchettoni. In 1754 he was given a teaching position in obstetrics (for students and midwives) and was considered the first teacher of midwifery in Innsbruck. He taught until 1780.
