Georg Ernst Kletten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Ernst Kletten (born April 13, 1759 in Kitzingen , † October 22, 1827 in Vienna ) was a German physician.

Life

Kletten began studying at the University of Vienna , where he distinguished himself as the editor of Stephan Blancard's Arzneywissenschaftlichesverzeichnis (Vienna 1788). He became a field doctor in the Swedish army in 1790 . Kletten soon followed a call to the University of Greifswald , where he was appointed third professor of medicine in 1794. There he took over the office of dean of the medical faculty for the first time in 1797 and on May 1, 1797 Georg Ernst Kletten was elected rector of the university, where he was officially introduced on May 12 in the usual manner. In his inaugural address De ingenio medici. Oratio habita in auditorio majori academico , he spoke about the nature of medicine and the talent of being a doctor.

In 1800 he was released from university duties and worked as a military doctor in the imperial army. After returning to Greifswald in 1803, he was again dean of the medical faculty in Greifswald. In 1806 he followed a call to the University of Wittenberg as professor for surgery and the art of delivery. In his lectures he covered pathological subjects, the general history of medicine, and therapeutic subjects. As a representative of proven principles of experience in medicine, he established himself as an opponent of the then changing fads in the field. In 1808 he also took on the organizational tasks of a dean in Wittenberg and managed the university's rectorate in the winter semesters of 1808 and 1813 . As a result of the Wars of Liberation , Wittenberg was caught in the crossfire of military conflicts in 1813. As large parts of the city were destroyed, most of the university's academic staff first fled to Kemberg .

Kemberg was on a militarily heavily frequented street, which is why the university continued to operate in Schmiedeberg . There they held out with little academic activity and waited. After all, as an ally of Napoleon, Saxony had suffered a defeat. The Saxon areas around Wittenberg came to Prussia through the Congress of Vienna . After specialist advice, it was decided that the University of Halle and the Wittenberg University would be merged. Thus, on April 12, 1815, the new University of Halle-Wittenberg was established. Some of the university teachers looked for a new existence in other places.

Kletten, who initially worked there as a university professor, left Halle in 1816 for Vienna, where he received a pension. He withdrew from academic life and took part in the publication of the Vienna Medical Monthly .
