Georg Weber (physician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Weber (born April 9, 1816 in Kiel ; † December 8, 1891 ibid) was a German doctor and an early representative of the German labor movement. His code name was coachman .

Life

Georg Weber was the son of the budget council and professor of medicine at the University of Kiel Georg Heinrich Weber and his wife Anna Henrietta Philippina Weber, geb. Wedekind. He attended high school in Kiel and Bonn. In 1835 he began studying medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and received his doctorate there in 1842 as “Dr. med et. chir. "

In 1844 he met Karl Marx in Paris and wrote for the “ Vorwärts! Paris signals from art, science, theater, music and social life ”by Heinrich Börnstein Articles and poems. Marx had an influence on four of his articles insofar as Weber drew directly from Marx's economic-philosophical manuscripts . He also maintained particularly close contact with August Hermann Ewerbeck .

In November 1845 Weber tried to find a publishing house for Marx in Altona , Hamburg and Kiel for the German ideology , but this failed. In 1846 he was involved in the founding of the Communist Correspondence Committee in Kiel. In his letter of August 1, 1846, he reports on the problems in Schleswig-Holstein: “The Danes want to make Schleswig-Holstein a Danish province in order to receive more tax from there. Schleswig-Holstein doesn't like, of course the Gerldpunct is the punctum saliens. […] If something comes of history here in Kiel [Communist Correspondence Committee], the number of participants will be 3-4. "

As a participant in the Schleswig-Holstein War , he was taken prisoner by Denmark in April 1848. He was released under the Malmö Treaty .

In 1847 and 1849, as a practicing doctor in Kiel, he published two books on " Rhachitis " and on "Theory and methodology of the physical examination method in diseases of the respiratory and circulatory organs". In 1859 he was offered the citizenship letter in Kiel , which he refused.

In 1850 Weber killed his opponent Lieutenant Sleth with a shot through the chest in a pistol duel in Lütjenbur. Weber had long tried to avoid the duel.

In 1851 he went to North America, perhaps on the advice of the member of the rump parliament and friend Wilhelm Hoffbauer .

In 1861 he was back in Kiel and practiced as a surgeon , obstetrician and practical person. In 1862 he married in Kiel.

In the 1870s he turned back to Karl Marx in a few letters. In the summer of 1871, 1873 and 1874 he visited Karl Marx in London. His translation of Béranger's songs was published in 1881. Georg Weber died on December 8, 1891 in Kiel.

Quote

“So you want to form a communist party in Germany; and when this party is created, what then? Since I've been back in Germany, I've been more convinced than ever that Germany still has to plow through the whole constant mischief, as I said consistently in Paris. I believe that no people are less created without making a mediating transition, like the German. Do not hold the explosions of misery against me as a communist act of the people. Noth knows no command. In addition, England has four liters of German blood, the need is infinitely greater and old England still exists! "
