Bauer's special institute for diabetics in Niederlößnitz (1910)

Franz Ludwig Bauer , mostly Ludwig Bauer , (born October 10, 1857 in Lippersdorf ; † 1913 ) was a German physiological chemist who founded a new diabetes theory before the discovery of insulin in 1921 .

Life

Bauer came from the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg and opened Bauer's special institute for diabetics in Plauen near Dresden in 1899 . That is why he also called himself a spa and spa director . In the vernacular he was then called to distinguish it from other people with the family name Bauer Zuckerbauer . In the following year he wanted to expand his institute to include a private clinic and set it up in the former Wettinshöhe mountain inn in Zitzschewig . He was not allowed to operate the clinic due to unproven medical expertise. Thereupon he moved in 1903 with his special institute for diabetics ( ) to the then Grenzstraße 3 on the local border of Kötzschenbroda and Niederlößnitz . World icon

Ludwig Bauer advertised the anti-diabetic drug djoeate developed by him worldwide as the quinine of diabetes , which among other things contained an extract from the jambul tree to lower blood sugar. He later renamed this medicine Diamel .

After Ludwig Bauer's death in 1913, his son continued to run the Institute for Diabetics for a few years. The entry in the commercial register at the Radebeul District Court ends in 1917. The private institute for diabetics closed at the latest with the discovery of insulin. The building is now in a modified form in Radebeul, Heinrich-Zille-Straße 84.

In addition to the special institute, Franz Ludwig Bauer ran a chemical-pharmaceutical laboratory in Niederlößnitz, which was entered in the Radebeul commercial register from 1907 to 1914 under number 141.
