Georg Christoph Petri of hard rock (* 13. February 1633 in Erfurt , † 6. December 1718 ibid ) was a German physician, scientist and professor.

The son of a businessman studied in Erfurt, Jena , Groningen and Leipzig . After serving with Count Heinrich V von Reuss zu Greiz (1655 as court master, 1657 as personal physician), he became a garrison medicus in Erfurt. From 1666 onwards he made a career in the Kurmainzischen or municipal medical service and in the Erfurt council. Most recently (from 1692) he was the highest mayor, councilor of the Electorate of Mainz and body medicine. Since 1663 university professor, he held the office of rector at the University of Erfurt from 1689 to 1692. He was raised to the nobility as von Hartenfels by Emperor Leopold in 1689. On July 29, 1662 he was accepted as a member ( matriculation no. 25 ) with the nickname Achilles I in the Academia Naturae Curiosorum , today's German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina .

Among his many, predominantly Latin, writings are a writing against the plague and the Elephantographia Curiosa (1715).
