Friedrich Franz Salzer was born in Bierthälm and attended high school in Salzburg until 1847. He then studied medicine in Vienna until 1852/53, where he became a doctor of medicine and surgery as well as a master's degree in obstetrics. Until 1859 he worked for Franz Schuh as a surgical child and then assistant. In his habilitation thesis he dealt with trigeminal neuralgia . After his habilitation, Salzer became a lecturer in surgical operations theory. He was one of the first to consistently apply the principles of antisepsis and asepsis to his departments and was thus able to perform operations on abdominal tumors. He performed several hundred laparotomies and operated on the bladder vaginal fistula that was common at the time . In 1859 Salzer became head of the surgical department of the St. Anna Children's Hospital and the Rudolf Hospital in Vienna. In 1868 he became head of the 2nd surgical-gynecological department at the Vienna General Hospital . Here he was appointed associate professor in 1875. From 1882 he headed the rescue service of the Austrian state railways . He published in the "Wiener Allgemeine Medizinische Zeitung" and in the "Journal of the Imperial and Royal Society of Doctors in Vienna ." Salzer died on November 30, 1890 in Vienna. He left two sons. Friedrich Adalbert Salzer was born on May 12 or 13, 1858 in Vienna. He studied medicine in Heidelberg, Berlin and Vienna and from 1882 worked in Vienna as a surgeon at Theodor Billroth's clinic . The younger brother, Johannes Salzer, who was born in Vienna on August 22, 1871, also studied medicine and in 1897 he too became an assistant at the Billroth Clinic.
