Georg Thilenius (born April 19, 1830 in Rüdesheim am Rhein , † August 17, 1885 in Bad Soden am Taunus ) was a German spa doctor and national liberal member of the Reichstag .

Life

Georg Thilenius was born as the son of the first state-licensed spa doctor in the city of Soden am Taunus, Otto Heinrich Thilenius (1800–1867). He was the grandson of the founder of this dynasty of spa doctors, Moritz Gerhard Thilenius (1745–1808). Georg Thilenius first tried his hand at the mountain subject for the sake of his mother, a née Buderus , and then switched to medicine in 1851. He attended the universities of Berlin, Göttingen and Vienna. After the state examination , he undertook a scientific trip in the manner of a Grand Tour to France and as far as Algeria . From 1855 he worked as a general practitioner and spa doctor in Bad Soden and acquired the Paulinenschlösschen , built in 1847 from the property of Duchess Pauline von Nassau, as the center of his life. At the same time he was socially and politically involved in Soden. Initially he was active at the municipal level, then from 1870 as a member of the Prussian House of Representatives and from the Reichstag election in 1874 as a national liberal member of the Reichstag, later from 1880 until his departure in 1884 as a member of the Liberal Association due to the secession .

In 1876 he was awarded the Corps Bow of the Corps Palatia Bonn . In 1884 and 1885 he edited the baths almanac , which was later edited by his younger brother Otto Thilenius . His monument-protected tomb in the Bad Soden cemetery is based on a design by the Wiesbaden sculptor Schmidt von der Launitz .
