life and work
Proell attended the pre-school in Graudenz from 1888 to 1891 and the humanistic grammar school there from 1891 to 1900. From 1900 to 1906 he studied medicine at the military medical Kaiser-Wilhelms-Akademie in Berlin, and completed this course in March 1906 with the state examination. He then obtained his doctorate from the University of Freiburg with a thesis on visual disorders after blood loss. med. From 1909 to 1911 he studied dentistry at the University of Strasbourg . At the University of Königsberg he qualified as a professor in 1912 for dentistry, oral medicine and maxillofacial medicine. During the First World War he worked as a military doctor in various field hospitals and in April 1920 retired from military service as a senior staff doctor.
From 1923 to 1935 he was director of the dental clinic at the University of Greifswald . During this time, study trips took him to America (1926), the former German Southwest Africa (1928/29) and to Lapland (1933). On October 1, 1935, after several months of compulsory leave of absence, he was transferred from Greifswald to the same position at the University of Bonn , where Alfred Kantorowicz had previously had to give way to the terror of the National Socialists. In Bonn, Proell was released in 1945 and retired in 1949 with the denazification.
Before the First World War, Proell was a member of a Masonic lodge, joined the NSDAP in 1933, was expelled there in 1935, only to re-enter in 1937. From 1934 to 1935 he was a member of the Nazi Lecturer Association and the NS Reich Warrior Association, and from 1937 to 1945 he was a member of the SA.
His scientific work resulted in around 150 papers and five books, the last of which appeared in 1956 under the title Tooth Structure and Tooth Decay as a Function of Diet . His commemorative publication was written 30 years earlier for the 25th anniversary of the Dental Institute of the University of Greifswald, in which, in addition to Hermann Schröder , Guido Fischer, FW Proell and R. Gross, other contemporary figures in dental research made contributions. With his critical review of Bernhard Gottlieb's (1885–1950) book Dental Caries , he made this work known in Germany as well and thus contributed to the early enthusiasm for the possibilities of caries prophylaxis with fluorides in Germany.
