Life

Küchenmeister was born in 1821 as the son of a pastor . The kitchen master received the first lessons from a tutor. From 1835 (at the age of 14) he attended the Kreuzschule in Dresden for 4½ years . His father would have liked him as a pastor, but chef did not feel the theologians appointed and completed after finishing school at Easter 1840, first at Otto Linné Erdmann an internship before in Leipzig , a medical school resumed. In 1842 he passed his baccalaureate examination and in 1845 the Rigorosum . In 1846 he became a Doctor of Medicine doctorate . As early as 1844, in addition to his studies, Küchenmeister completed an internship with Carl Haubold (1796–1862), the director of the homeopathic clinic in Leipzig, and initially worked as a homeopath in Leipzig.

But already at the beginning of 1846 - dissatisfied with homeopathy - he started studying medicine again in Prague , where he a. a. Was a student with Johann Oppolzer , Franz von Pitha , Ferdinand von Arlt and Joseph Hasner von Artha . In July 1848 he established himself as a doctor in Zittau . In the autumn of the same year he married the merchant's daughter Klara Kämmel. From this marriage there were three children. After the death of his wife in 1873, he married Hedwig Rebsch-Schöppenthau a few years later.

In 1856 he moved to Dresden. From 1859 he worked at the Friedrichstadt City Hospital . He researched tapeworms , trichinae and other parasites and wrote a number of frameworks about them; he also edited the general journal for epidemiology . In 1852 his theory that bladder worms are tapeworms in their youthful state attracted the attention of experts. In 1856 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

Friedrich Küchenmeister's grave in the Inner Neustädter Friedhof

Küchenmeister was an advocate of cremation , as he saw the risk of soil poisoning in the putrefaction and decomposition gases that arise during an earth burial . In 1873 he founded the association Die Urne - Association for facultative corpse cremation in Dresden . Together with the Leipzig police doctor Carl Reclam , he won over the engineer Friedrich Siemens to develop a furnace for burning corpses in his glass factory on Freiberger Strasse. The first experiments with the apparatus developed by Siemens at their own expense were carried out in the summer of 1874 with the carcasses of horses, pigs and mutton, and in October of the same year the first cremation followed: Lady Katherine Dilke (1842–1874), first wife of the British Undersecretary Sir Charles Dilke (1843–1911), had in her will decreed to be burned after her death, which was not yet possible in England. For example, on October 9, 1874 in Dresden, the world's first cremation in a closed fire took place in the corpse cremation furnace developed by Siemens, which Küchenmeister reported immediately in the magazine Deutsche Klinik . A short time later, kitchen supervisors, also city councilors, and other proponents of cremation applied to the council of city councils to allow corpses to be burned in Dresden. The first European congress of friends of cremation took place in Dresden in 1876 and from 1877 the magazine Die Urne was published as the organ of all German cremation associations.

Friedrich Küchenmeister had been a member of the Freemasons Association since September 29, 1845 . His mother's box was the Apollo in Leipzig . He also held the office of old and honorary chairman of the lodge to the three swords in Dresden. In 1863 he became the first chair master of the newly founded Lodge Zu den Ehernen Säulen in Dresden.

His grave is on the Inner Neustädter Friedhof (No. 18, 1st Land) in Dresden.
