Life

Friedrich Grohé was the son of the businessman Friedrich Jakon Grohé. After attending grammar school and high school in Speyer, he studied medicine at the Universities of Würzburg and Gießen from 1850 to 1853 . At the same time he also attended Justus von Liebig's lectures on chemistry. In 1853 he became assistant to Rudolf Virchow in Würzburg , where he received his doctorate in 1856 . In 1857 he followed Virchow to the pathological institute in Berlin. In 1858 he accepted an extraordinary professorship at the University of Greifswald . Four years later he became full professor of pathological anatomy. In addition to his teaching and research activities, he devoted himself to the construction of a purpose-built pathological institute in Greifswald, which he took over as head. In the years 1868, 1872/73 and 1879/80 he was dean of the medical faculty. In 1874/75 he was rector of the university. In 1880 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

In 1866, during the German War , he took over the management of a reserve hospital in Demmin , for which he was awarded the Red Eagle Order, 4th class. During the Franco-Prussian War he led a medical train to Paris in the winter of 1870/71 and was awarded the Iron Cross .

In the last years of his life, a progressive heart disease impaired his life and work, and in 1884 he was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus . In 1886 he had to stop teaching. He died in November of the same year, shortly after the Kaiser Wilhelm I appointed him a secret medical councilor.

Friedrich Grohé published in Justus Liebig's Annals of Chemistry , in the negotiations of the Physico-Medical Society in Würzburg and in the negotiations of the obstetrical society in Berlin . He conducted research among other things, movement of the fruiting body and melanemia and pseudo melanemia . Furthermore, he was concerned with the finer structure of the spleen, which was still little researched at the time . After the publication of a study on the child's ovary , he got into a polemical argument with Eduard Pflüger , since Grohé only found ovarian follicles , but no Pflüger tubes .
