He is counted among the pioneers in the development of the Saxon Switzerland climbing area and is the founder of climbing in the northern Franconian Jura . The Northern Franconian Jura is part of Franconian Switzerland.

Life

His mother died of puerperal fever on March 13, 1858 at the age of 34. His oldest sister was the later writer Marie Brosin (1850-1939). He was married to Edith Brosin, née Osterloh (1878–1922), from Dresden. After his death, the young widow Edith Brosin became an actress at the age of 20 and took over roles under the stage name "Eva Brandt" at theaters in Dresden , Flensburg , Sondershausen , Thorn and in Berlin at the "Theater am Nollendorfplatz" until she became the first wife of the Doctor, poet and essayist Gottfried Benn became. Brosin's father-in-law was the Dresden gynecologist Paul Rudolph Osterloh (1849-1918) and his mother-in-law was the banker's daughter and poet Adele Minna Osterloh , née Günther (1857-1946).

education

Brosin received his first lessons from the “old cantor” in Wehdem and he expanded his knowledge of elementary school through private lessons, in which he was able to attend a tutor from a family friend of his father. In addition, his eldest sister Marie gave him tutoring. As a result of the private education course, Brosin was accepted into the first class of the grammar school at that time, the "Sexta", in order to be able to realize his career aspiration to be a doctor. He attended grammar school in Mühlhausen, where he lived with a relative.

At Easter 1877 he passed the school leaving examination (Abitur) at the municipal high school in Mühlhausen in Thuringia . He enrolled at the University of Göttingen to study medicine. Brosin's academic teachers at the Georg August University in Göttingen were: Karl Boedeker , Ernst Ehlers , Jacob Henle , Georg Meissner and Theodor Husemann . After Brosin had passed the preliminary medical examination, the Tentamen physicum , in Göttingen on March 3, 1879 , in the same year he switched to the Royal Medical-Surgical Military Academy , which was later renamed the Kaiser-Wilhelms-Akademie , as a student of medicine at training centers in Berlin and to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . Here he attended lectures, courses and clinics in particular from Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben , Friedrich Theodor Frerichs , Gustav Theodor Fritsch , Ernst Julius Gurlt , Adolf Ludwig Sigismund Gusserow , the chair holder of obstetrics at Berlin University, Eduard Heinrich Henoch , the director of the clinic and Polyclinic for Childhood Diseases of the Charité , August Hirsch , Bernhard von Langenbeck , Rudolf Leuthold , Ernst Viktor von Leyden , Oscar Liebreich , Carl Liman , Karl Schweigger , Carl Schröder , Karl Friedrich Skrzeczka , Ferdinand Trautmann and the pathologist Rudolf Virchow as well as the psychiatrist Carl Westphal , whom he thanked at the end of his doctoral thesis.

Military time

Brosin was a member of the "Kaiser Wilhelms Academy for Military Medical Education" from March 9, 1879 to March 15, 1881. After studying medicine, receiving his doctorate on March 9, 1881 and being promoted to assistant doctor, he initially continued his career as a military doctor on July 22, 1883. Thus he became an assistant doctor in the medical officer corps, who had to treat not only soldiers but also their families. He finished active service in the Prussian Infantry Regiment No. 22 in Rastatt / Baden as "Assistant Doctor II. Class", comparative rank: Lieutenant, on February 24, 1883. Before starting his studies in the "2. Hessian Infantry Regiment No. 82 ”in Hanover .

Assistant doctor

The doctor of medicine spent his assistantship as a civilian doctor in Halle an der Saale. In the archive for psychiatry and nervous diseases he published in 1886 together with the honorary professor of the University of Halle Bernhard Küssner (1852-1892) the article Myelitis acuta disseminata . His job as an assistant doctor in Halle (Saale) was the pathological institute of the university. In the bridging time between his medical work in Halle and future in Berlin, Brosin undertook a ship trip to Brazil in 1887 on a passenger steamer of the Hamburg-South American Steamship Company (HSDG) and he worked on the steamer Valparaiso of the HSDG as a ship's doctor . His travel memories were published in the Sunday supplement of the Saale-Zeitung , published in Halle an der Saale, from mid-September to the end of October 1887. Brosin then worked as a general practitioner at the University Women's Clinic of the Charité in Berlin under its director Robert Olshausen . It was around this time that his study On Black Hair Tongue was published. Dresdner pathologist Friedrich Neelsen gave F. Brosin for his research "black tongue" from the collection of the Institute of Pathology of the local university . The associate professor at the University of Halle and at the same time a general practitioner in the city of Saale, Alfred Genzmer , made “surgical notes on the course” of the black hair tongue disease available for the paper.

Specialist in Dresden

Around 1890 Brosin settled down as a general practitioner for gynecology in Dresden-Neustadt in the street An der Dreikönigskirche , where he had a separate consultation hour for the “poor”, as did his Jewish “friend and doctor”, the Dresden dermatologist Eugen Galewsky (1864 -1935). He then looked after his patients at Nieritzstrasse 11. His doctor's practice was last since October 1, 1898, at Carolinenstrasse 1. Here in his gynecological clinic near Albertplatz, Brosin also considered the poor and granted free treatment to the poor. In Dresden, among other things, he dealt with the harmful effects of wearing a corset and substantiated his specialist medical statements with the description of cases of illness among his patients.

In his free time he devoted himself to climbing and hiking in the mountains. Brosin already showed his joy in hiking as a teenager. B. in the school holidays. As a high school student, he made it from the Thuringian city of Mühlhausen “all the way on foot” to Wehdem. Occasionally his wife also took part in tourist excursions to Saxon Switzerland , for example to Falkenstein in 1899 . Her father co-founded the "Dresden Section" of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (DuÖAV) in 1873. The general practitioner "Dr. med. Brosin, C. Osc. F." became a member of the Dresden Section in 1898.

crash

When Brosin followed Oscar Schuster's idea of ​​mountain sports development to forego artificial aids while climbing, this was his undoing on the tour in the spring of 1900: The experienced climbing tourist fell on the Schrammsteinen in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Saxon Switzerland. In the communications of the German and Austrian Alpine Association (DuÖAV) it said: Dr. Brosin, allegedly an experienced tourist, wanted to climb over this rock, known and used as a climbing school, alone and without rope protection; he fell and was found dead the next day. It was Ascension Day at the turn of the century when the doctor Brosin found death on the "Rococo Rock" in his second year of marriage. Brosin's mountain friend and professional colleague Richard Flachs (1863–1947), who, like Brosin, was also a member of the German and Austrian Alpine Club, Dresden section, knew the destination of the excursion: “An offshoot of the so-called Affensteine ​​(Schrammstein area, page after the waterfall ). ”He recovered the dead“ with the help of some men who were brought in ”. Richard Flachs, doctor for pediatrics, has also been a member of the mountain association for Saxon Switzerland since 1889 and specified the news about the Brosin accident, which appeared promptly in the daily press and in the organ of the mountain association “Ueber Berg und Thal”, like this: “When climbing is Dr. Brosin got onto a ledge from which he slipped. The fall took place on a slab of rock below and was instantly fatal. "

Resting place: Johannisfriedhof in Dresden

The victim, who was a Protestant Christian, found his final resting place in the Johannisfriedhof in the eastern part of Tolkewitz on May 30, 1900. His grave was erected on the burial site of the Osterloh family from Dresden. At that time there was a “deathbed master” for the Johannisfriedhof and a deacon who exercised the catechist office, as well as a porter who was also the cemetery overseer.

Brosin's private clinic, which had existed in Dresden's Antonstadt since October 1, 1898, was taken over by the specialist in gynecological diseases and obstetrics W. Otto Kaiser.

Brosine needle in Saxon Switzerland

Brosin climbed a rock needle named after him in Saxon Switzerland as the lead climber on July 21, 1899, together with mountaineers Heinrich Wenzel (1850-1910), Robert Püschner (1862-1908) and Friedrich (Fritz) Gerbing (1855-1927). The Brosine Needle is located at the northern tip of the Affensteine and is a slim, distinctive climbing rock in the Ostrau district . While Brosin had belonged to the Dresden section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club (DuÖAV) since 1898 , his three mountaineering comrades from Bohemian Switzerland were organized in the Prague section of this club.

The rock needle was already called Brosin needle during Brosin's lifetime, "in the circles of climbing enthusiasts ," said the chairman (1886–1903) of the mountain association for Saxon Switzerland, Oscar Lehmann (1847–1926) in a message. Finally, Lehmann pointed out that Brosin also wanted to become a member of the Mountain Association for Saxon Switzerland and that the admission was to be voted on on May 29, 1900, but that it was no longer due to his death.

One of the loners of the brosine needle in Saxon Switzerland, Albert Kunze (1879–1969), called "Essenkunze", reported retrospectively in the messages of the Saxon Bergsteigerbund e. V. (SBB) in November 1919 that in the summer of 1902 he and his friend Oliver Perry-Smith behind a (rock) ledge when climbing to the top of the cathedral “a bottle with the cards from Dr. O. Schuster and Dr. F. Brosin ”found and concluded that“ these developers of our beautiful mountain world ... thought the ascent of Esse was only possible from the lamb side and tried in vain. ”The climbing companion Oscar Schuster (1873–1917) was like Brosin a doctor by profession. The first ascent of the "Esse V locomotive" is considered to be the beginning of wall climbing in Saxon Switzerland.

Brosine needle in the northern Franconian Jura

Before that, in 1890, when Fritz Brosin was based in Dresden, he climbed a rock needle in the northern Franconian Jura in Lehenhammertal, which he named Brosinnadel in honor of the founder of climbing there. A postcard with the inscription "Brosinnadel (side view)" was printed with the caption "Greetings from Öde, Lehental-Hartmanshof" in the first decade of the 20th century and the date was printed on the back by the printer with the date "24.9. (19) 10 ”and the initials“ AL ”.
