Georg Christian Reichel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Christian Reichel (born 1717 / 1727 in Muehlhausen / Thuringia ;. Died on 21 January 1771 in Leipzig ) was since 1767 an associate professor of medicine in Leipzig and botanist .

He was the son of the surgeon Christian Reichel in Mühlhausen. On April 28, 1747, he moved to the University of Leipzig, became a Magister in 1754 and a Magister Legens in 1756. In 1759 he obtained a medical doctorate. He was both housemate and table companion of the young student Johann Wolfgang Goethe . Goethe occasionally consulted this doctor when he "felt he was not sick, at least," and when he gave the student "most friendly" support when he collapsed in 1768. Goethe probably suffered a hemorrhage in 1768 , which Reichel successfully treated and thus saved his life. Apart from that, as the title of an article suggests, he was the great-uncle of Carl Gustav Carus . From 1765 he was a member of the Leopoldina in the mathematics section.

According to Effi Biedrzynski, Reichel had a fatal accident in 1771 while rescuing some patients from a fire. According to Johannes Georg Hartenstein , he was killed by a falling beam.

The Reichelstraße in Leipzig is not named after this doctor, but after the merchant and owner of Apels Garten Erdmann Traugott Reichel !
