Act

In addition to his scientific and excellent medical work, Georg Hohmann was considered an excellent teacher for his assistants and students as well as a designer for the entire orthopedics in technology, physiotherapy , massage and orthopedic shoemaking , which he used sensibly for treatment.

“Rest and movement” were the basis of his medical practice. Hohmann dealt with the whole person, their environment and their social situation. Georg Hohmann was shaped by Friedrich Naumann , who already fascinated him as a student and who knew how to shape his social feelings alongside national and progressive thoughts. Even after he had finally retired in Bergen, specialist books, visits to congresses, lectures and scientific papers show his untiring potential. In 1939 Hohmann was elected a member of the Leopoldina . Since 1982 the German Society for Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (formerly DOG) has awarded the Georg Hohmann plaque to people who have made a special contribution to the development of German orthopedics.
