Life

After studying medicine and receiving his doctorate, Bschor was awarded a Dr. med. initially from 1947 to 1951 compulsory assistant in Heidelberg , a. a. at the Institute of Pathology, with an attached Institute for Forensic Medicine, Heidelberg University . In 1951 he moved to the Institute for Forensic and Social Medicine, which later became the Institute for Forensic Medicine, at the Free University of Berlin (FU Berlin). After his habilitation in 1956, he first became senior assistant in 1961. In 1969 he was appointed Scientific Councilor and Professor at the Free University of Berlin. 1979–1983 he was finally Vice President for the medical field of the Free University of Berlin. His participation in the autopsy of Benno Ohnesorg on June 3, 1967 and his work as a court expert, among other things in the terrorist trials of the 1970s , should be emphasized from this period .

His special scientific and medical interest was in addictions . As early as 1950 he wrote a post about marijuana . In 1969 he founded a research group "drug problems", z. B. with a "model project social and occupational rehabilitation of drug addicts". These activities gained nationwide recognition and many addicts sought his help. In doing so, he also developed creative approaches to stabilize and reintegrate drug users (e.g. in the 1970s the “clean proof program” or adventure-based trips with consumers in a VW bus to the Sahara ).

From 1972 he was a member of the “Advisory Commission in Matters of Traffic with Addictive Substances including Psychotropic Substances at the Federal Health Office”, and also chairman of the working group on drug issues of the Berlin Medical Association .

Bschor recognized early on that most addicts could not be helped in the long term with a therapy based on the “ abstinence paradigm ” , and he was one of the first in Germany to advocate methadone substitution as an alternative therapy . After his retirement, he worked as an expert for substitute doctors who were often prosecuted in those years for prescribing methadone. Here, as part of a decision by the Federal Court of Justice of May 17, 1991, he was able to contribute to making the prescription of methadone in the treatment of drug users legal. Overall, he played an important role in establishing methadone substitution in Germany.

In deriving the drug topic , Bschor also dealt intensively with the spread of HIV / AIDS among drug users and in this way also contributed to a harm-reducing drug policy .

During his entire career, he also emphasized the socio-medical aspect of forensic medicine.

He was a member of the connection Lunaburgia Göttingen and the connection Saxonia Tübingen .

He found his final resting place in the forest cemetery in Zehlendorf in field 026-1.
