Life

The Leppmanns were originally a Jewish family of bakers in Peiskretscham, Upper Silesia . Friedrich's father Heinrich Leppmann (1820–1899) already made it to the medical council and district doctor . Friedrich Leppmann studied medicine at the University of Breslau , where he also received his doctorate in 1895 . In 1895/96 he became an assistant to Emanuel Mendel in his private institution in Berlin-Pankow . He then worked at the Evangelical Hospital in Düsseldorf and settled there as a doctor in 1898. In 1900 he took up a position as second doctor at the Moabit prison in Berlin, where his older brother Arthur (1854–1921) had been first doctor since 1889.

In addition to his work as a prison doctor , Leppmann mainly worked as a judicial expert for psychiatry, nervous diseases and insurance issues. He published in various specialist journals and edited the Medical Experts Newspaper .

In 1898 he married Agnes Schlockow, a daughter of Isak Schlockow , a forensic doctor from Breslau . The Leppmanns had four children. Friedrich Leppmann and his wife first emigrated to Malmö during National Socialism and arrived in the USA via Russia and Japan at the end of 1939 . While three of her children were also able to flee, their son Wolfgang Leppmann (1902–1943), a Slavist and historian , was arrested in Berlin on December 9, 1942, deported in 1943 and murdered in Auschwitz that same year .

On June 15, 2018 , stumbling blocks for the Leppmann family were laid in front of their former home, Berlin-Hansaviertel , Siegmunds Hof 1 .
