Friedrich Gustav Bramann , from 1891 von Bramann , (born September 25, 1854 in Szameitschen , parish Wilhelmsberg, Darkehmen , East Prussia ; †  April 26,  1913 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German surgeon and neurosurgeon . Bramann became famous when he saved Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm from death by suffocation with a tracheotomy.

Life

Bramann was born the son of a landowner. After graduating from the Friedrichsschule Gumbinnen , he studied medicine at the Albertus University in Königsberg from 1875 . He became active in the newly founded Corps Hansea Königsberg . His teachers included Karl Schönborn , Florian Beely and Karl Heinrich Burow . From 1880 assistant doctor to Rudolph Schneider at the surgical department of the City Hospital Königsberg , he was appointed Dr. med. PhD. In March 1884 he went to Ernst von Bergmann's surgical university clinic in Berlin. As a one-year volunteer , he served in the infantry regiment "Duke Karl von Mecklenburg-Strelitz" (6th East Prussian) No. 43 and in the cuirassier regiment "Graf Wrangel" (East Prussian) No. 3 . At von Bergmann's suggestion, Kaiser Wilhelm I sent Bramann to the sick bed of the 56-year-old Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm in Sanremo in November 1887 . With his larynx cancer , he should perform a tracheotomy in the event of life-threatening dyspnea if Bergmann did not arrive in time. With the tracheotomy in February 1888, Bramann made it possible for the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne as Emperor Friedrich.

After eight months unemployed in Sanremo to Berlin returned habilitated to Bramann still in the Year of Three Emperors in 1888. On the advice of his boss he refused in 1889 the reputation of the Royal University of Greifswald as scheduled associate professor and director of the Surgical clinic from. Instead, he stayed with von Bergmann as a private assistant. When Richard von Volkmann , professor of surgery at the University of Halle , died at the end of November 1889, Wilhelm II wrote in the margin of the report from Halle in December of the same year: “In my opinion, Bramann is a good successor, who fits in very well would. ”The discussions in the Halle faculty were obsolete. On April 1, 1890, Bramann was appointed to the chair of surgery. As director of the surgical university clinic, he operated on many German princes and Turkish dignitaries. He was particularly interested in brain surgery . On January 2, 1891, on the occasion of his marriage, Wilhelm II awarded Bramann the hereditary nobility for his medical services . The Hohenzollerns remained loyal to him throughout his life. He died of pernicious anemia at the age of 58 . His grave is on Hallesches Stadtgottesacker (inner field I).
