meaning

Langbein advocated old-age and disability benefits for doctors and for the care of doctor widows and orphans. His ideas led to the establishment of a pension fund by the Württemberg Medical Association in 1921. After the constitution of the Württemberg Medical Association as a public body in 1926, he became chairman (president) of this association founded in 1924. The pension fund founded in 1921 was continued in 1928 by the Württemberg Medical Association as the Friedrich-Langbein fund . In 1933 the Württemberg Medical Association was dissolved. Langbein then retired to his practice. After the war, in old age he campaigned for a new constitution for the professional body. 1946–1949 he was the first post-war president of the Medical Association of South-Württemberg and Württemberg-Hohenzollern, in 1950 an expert in the special committee of the state parliament of Württemberg-Hohenzollern to draft a bill for the care of the medical professions. The law led to the establishment of the pension institution for doctors, dentists and veterinarians in Württemberg-Hohenzollern, whose statutes Langbein played a decisive role. The facility, based in Tübingen, was extended to Baden-Württemberg in 1961.
