Life

He attended the Paulinum grammar school in Münster , the rectorate school in Nottuln and the grammar school in Telgte . From 1903 to 1906 an apprenticeship in pharmacy followed in Salzkotten . He was a pharmacy assistant in Warendorf from 1906 to 1907 and in Duisburg from 1907 to 1909 . He then studied pharmacy at the University of Marburg , where he became a member of the Corps Normannia . In 1911 he passed the state examination as a pharmacist. He was licensed to practice medicine in Melle before doing his military service. In April 1914 he became a lecturer at the University of Marburg with Ernst Schmidt († 1921), who was his most important academic teacher alongside Johannes Gadamer . Von Bruchhausen took part in the First World War as a medical sergeant, as a sub-pharmacist and from 1916 in a field hospital as a senior pharmacist. In December 1919 he passed the food chemist examination at the University of Marburg. Since the upper secondary qualification was insufficient for further academic qualifications, von Bruchhausen made up his Abitur as an external student at the Königsstädtische Oberrealschule in Berlin in March 1921. In August 1921 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. He completed his habilitation in 1925 in the fields of pharmacy, chemistry and food chemistry and was offered a position at the University of Münster . In 1931 he moved to the University of Würzburg and in 1936 as a full professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig. There he was director of the Institute for Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Food Chemistry for 20 years. He retired in 1958. He was a member of the Leopoldina . Von Bruchhausen's research activities included questions of alkaloid chemistry ( Corydalis alkaloids), natural product chemistry ( cantharidin ) and pharmaceutical analysis. He worked on the 6th German Pharmacopoeia .
