Friedrich Speyer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Speyer , also Carl or Karl Friedrich Speyer, (born March 19, 1782 in Arolsen ; † February 7, 1839 in Bamberg ) was a city magistrate in Bamberg.

Life

Speyer studied medicine and philosophy in Jena from 1797 to 1800 and then moved to Bamberg to live with his uncle Adalbert Friedrich Marcus , whose obituary he later wrote. He was in the process of setting up medical doctors for the poor on behalf of the Bavarian government. In 1803 Speyer became a doctor (physician at the regional court) at the regional court in Gleusdorf , based in Rattelsdorf . In 1805 he was transferred to the Bamberg II district court. He stayed in this position until the autumn of 1838 when he became a city and district court doctor in Bamberg and a Bavarian medical committee assessor.

His wife was Clara Godin, daughter was Amélie Linz .

He was interested in theater and poetry as well as the plastic arts and joined the Bamberg Art Association in 1825.

Speyer belonged to the circle of friends around ETA Hoffmann in Bamberg, as did the doctor Adalbert Friedrich Marcus. He owed some of his psychiatric and medical knowledge to Speyer and Marcus, which he used in his work.
