Georg Matthias Martin Josef Sticker (born April 18, 1860 in Cologne ; † August 28, 1960 in Zell am Main ) was a German internist, loimologist (disease researcher) and medical historian.

Life

Georg Sticker was born into a family of doctors in Cologne. In Cologne he attended the St. Aposteln high school. From 1880 he studied medicine at the universities of Strasbourg , Bonn and Göttingen . At the end of March 1884 he received his doctorate in Bonn with a topic from the field of anatomy ( description of a skull with an outdated traumatic unilateral mandibular dislocation ). From 1884 to 1887 he worked as an assistant to the internist Franz Riegel at the University of Giessen , was active as a general practitioner in 1886, first in Weilburg and then from 1887 to 1895 in Cologne . From 1895 Sticker was the first lecturer for medical history at the University of Giessen as a polyclinic assistant. In 1895 he completed his habilitation there in internal medicine. In Gießen he was also appointed associate professor in 1898.

In 1897 he was one of the participants in the German expedition led by Georg Gaffky and Robert Koch, which had been sent to Bombay to investigate the bubonic plague that had broken out there. Sticker had succeeded in identifying fleas and rats as intermediaries for the epidemic.

In 1899 he was the first to describe ringlet rubella . In 1905 Sticker became director of the municipal Clemens Hospital in Münster and from 1907 he was again active as a general practitioner in Bonn and Cologne, where he also treated the Konrad Adenauers family . From 1920 he taught as a full honorary professor at the University of Münster . He was associate professor with the title and rank of full professor for the history of medicine since April 1, 1921. In 1922 he succeeded Friedrich Hel Reich (1842–1927), who from 1896 to 1919 was associate professor “History of Medicine, Medical Geography and medical statistics ”, and on December 14, 1929 full professor for the history of medicine at the University of Würzburg . Sticker contributed to the translation and publication of the works of Hippocrates by Richard Kapferer.

Sticker, which in the era of National Socialism of the NSDAP joined, initially affirmed their policy, citing 1933, Munich Medical Weekly words of Adolf Hitler: "Will the German people, thus saith Adolf Hitler, recover and survive, it must duties of the ethnic state and have no ears when the weak cry out and complain about encroachments on the most sacred human rights ”.

When the National Socialist rector of the university, Herwart Fischer , began to convert the professorship for the history of medicine into one for hereditary science and race research , Sticker asked for his retirement in February 1934 and put forward reasons for his age. On April 1, 1934, Sticker finally retired. A successor was not appointed. The anatomist Curt Elze took over the medical history lessons . In the same year, the former main room of the Institute for the History of Medicine set up by Sticker in the summer of 1921 in the Pathological Institute (Building 21 of the Würzburg Luitpold Hospital ) became the breakfast room for student NSDAP members, and in the following years the medical history institute was initially dissolved before it was officially re-established on March 13, 1953 under Robert Herrlinger and initially received the additional designation "Georg-Sticker-Institut".

Sticker, who after his retirement only worked as a private scientist, was a member of the Leopoldina from 1936 . From 1937 he lived in Zell am Main, where a plaque commemorates him in Lehmgrubenstraße 410 since 1970. In 1941 he received the Cothenius Medal of the Leopoldina, in 1950 the Rinecker Medal of the Medical Faculty of Würzburg and in 1960 the Philosophical Faculty of the University awarded the 100-year-old university professor an honorary doctorate. In 1960 he became an honorary member of the Leopoldina. Georg Sticker died in his home as a result of a flu-like lung infection and found his final resting place in the Zell am Main cemetery.
