Friedrich Ludwig Kreysig
Friedrich Ludwig Kreysig (born July 7, 1770 in Eilenburg , † June 4, 1839 in Dresden ) was a German physician, botanist and musicologist.
Life
The son of a doctor was enrolled at the University of Leipzig on January 5, 1787 . He attended the royal state school in Grimma , began his medical studies at the Leipzig University on September 19, 1787, became a baccalaureate in medicine on February 13, 1790 and went on a study trip to Pavia in 1792 . After he returned to Leipzig, he obtained a licentiate in medicine on May 29, 1793 . On February 19, 1795 he got the highest philosophical degree in philosophy and received his doctorate in April 1795 as a doctor of medicine .
After he had completed his habilitation as a private lecturer at the Leipzig University, he switched to the University of Wittenberg on January 5, 1796 as a substitute for Johann Gottfried Leonhardi . In 1801 he became professor of anatomy and botany and initiated the first clinical outpatient clinic in Wittenberg. In 1803 he became the personal physician of the Saxon King Friedrich Friedrich August in Dresden. He accompanied him on all trips, even in 1813 when he was taken prisoner in Friedrichsfelde . After he returned to Dresden in 1815, he devoted himself primarily to training Saxon military doctors. In 1814 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
Among other things, the surgical-medical academy had been founded for this purpose, where he himself was professor of the special pathological clinic in 1816. He joined the state government as court and medical councilor. In 1822 he said goodbye to academic life for health reasons in order to devote himself privately to his practice and botany. In 1837 he was elected a foreign member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . In 1838 he toured Hamburg, England and Ireland. On his return he was attacked by a facial rose, which spread metastasically to the brain and from which he died. Kreysig is best known for his work on diseases of the heart, which was not unimportant for the knowledge of the state of this teaching at that time. He has also dealt with botany and music, and composed a suite for piano.
