Life

Friedrich Ferdinand Illmer was a medical student in Vienna in 1657. On August 12, 1658 his repetition took place at the Medical Faculty in Vienna. He then became a field medic. On August 8, 1661, he took the place of Paul de Sorbait as professor institutionum at the Medical Faculty in Vienna and finally became professor institutionum in December 1662. On April 28, 1664 he was appointed consiliarius of the Collegium rationum of the consistory of the University of Vienna. In 1667 Illmer became procurator of the Hungarian nation at the University of Vienna. During the plague in Vienna in 1679, Illmer was a plague doctor and in the following winter took over the first Dean's office at the Medical Faculty in Vienna. In 1681 he was knighted in the old Hungarian knighthood with the title von und zu Wartenberg. This was followed by the appointment as an imperial body physician in 1681/82, as well as the first theoretical professor of the medical faculty in 1682 and as a practical professor in 1683.

The University of Vienna made him its rector in 1684/85. This was followed by a second term as medical dean. On June 29, 1685 he became a member of the Leopoldina with the surname Democritus I after a long hesitation . The Leopoldina attached great importance to his membership and even his patronage and accepted that his “badly stylized” observations were published in the “Ephemeris”.

Illmer conducted clinical lessons with his students in the hospital of the Barmherzigen Brüder in Vienna. On March 3, 1687, the Majesty Emperor Leopold I gave his personal physician Friedrich Ferdinand Illmer a healing spring with a bathing establishment in Ofen (= Buda). The half-ruined bathing rooms were replaced by Illmer with newly built bathing rooms.

Illmer's wife and one son died on December 10, 1698. Three children reached adulthood. After Illmer's death in December 1699, Johann Ferdinand Hertodt von Todtenfeld succeeded Illmer.
