biography

Family, education and work

Strube, son of the Bremen ophthalmologist and family doctor Dr. med. Georg Ernst Strube (born June 14, 1833 in Altona ; † May 3, 1890 in Bremen), studied medicine in Heidelberg, Strasbourg, Bonn and Berlin. In 1900 he returned to Bremen and established himself as a doctor. On November 1, 1905, he became a senior doctor and internist at the Red Cross Club Hospital , which was renamed the Red Cross in Willehadhaus in 1926 after the first Archbishop of Bremen.

Services

At the turn of the century, Strube realized that tuberculosis was spread by infection. As a result, the advice center for lung patients was set up in 1903. For ten years he was chairman of the medical association in Bremen. The scientific training of doctors and their ethical professional approach was important to him. In 1932 he was elected an honorary member of the association. When the German Medical Congress took place in Bremen in 1924, he was involved in the management.

Expansion of the hospital

The hospital, which only consisted of the motherhouse, private house and barracks when Strube took office, was expanded and expanded in several stages.

In 1926 the hospital was to be expanded by 120 beds. The association for the training of nurses planned a bazaar that should raise the construction costs.

Ludwig Roselius was friends with Strube and his wife Lili Strube, the daughter of Friedrich Jolly and granddaughter of Philipp von Jolly . She worked out a plan with Ludwig Roselius which at the same time promoted the expansion of the hospital and increased awareness of Böttcherstrasse . Roselius wanted to create a home and advertising department for good German handicrafts there. His problem was that the Bremen company did not initially accept the modernized Böttcherstraße. This was changed by a three-day charity bazaar in Böttcherstraße in favor of the Willehadhaus, which took place from October 15 to 17, 1926.

Willi Jung, who later became the head physician of the house, says: 'On the last evening of the bazaar, Professor Dr. Strube with a cloudy face in the midst of his organizers and guests. When asked about the reason by his old patient and patroness, Ms. Gildemeister, he said

  • “If you only knew what worries we have! We built a home for our sisters, it cost 90,000 marks. They should be provided by this bazaar. But we only got 65,000 marks! "

The old lady didn't think twice:

  • “If you have no other worries, give me a fountain pen!” He said it and filled out a check for 25,000 marks.

Founding of Wittheit

In 1924, the Historical Society and two other associations founded the Bremen Scientific Society , later called Wittheit zu Bremen . Strube was involved in the founding together with the radiologist Hans Meyer and the philosopher Johann Hinrich Knittermeyer and became its first president. On February 14, 1925, he gave the foundation speech at the foundation ceremony. He explained that there was already a science nursery in Bremen, the Illustre grammar school , which took care of science in the 17th and 18th centuries. He announced that every year on November 5th, the birthday of Johann Smidt , a festive meeting, the “Smidt meeting”, would take place.

At the first Smidt meeting in the same year, the keynote lecture was given by Strube on the subject of medicine in its relationship to science and economy. He dealt with the changes in the relationship between doctor and patient that had arisen through the replacement of free charitable welfare work with health insurance.

In 1927 he gave a lecture in Bremen in which he emphatically demanded the re-establishment of the old inner freedom of the doctor. This is "the prerequisite and law of medical professional activity".
