Georg von Doppelmair

Johann Georg Gottfried von Doppelmair (also Doppelmaier ; born November 11, 1753 in Hof ; died March 28, 1826 in Narva ) was a German doctor, a member of the Gold and Rosicrucians and a collector of Russian folk songs .

Life

Doppelmair was the son of Johann Siegmund Doppelmair, city pharmacist in Hof, and Catharina Dorothea, née. Herdeg. From 1764 to 1771 he attended grammar school in Hof, then studied medicine in Jena and heard from Delius , Isenflamm , Schreber and Rudolph in Erlangen , did an internship in Vienna and received his doctorate on February 28, 1776 in Erlangen. He then worked as a general practitioner in Schwarzenbach an der Saale until 1783 . In April 1783 he wrote to Jean Paul , because he - representing an alchemical position - had taken offense at a note in the second volume of his "Greenlandic Trials". Jean Paul refers to this letter in a letter to Adam Lorenz von Oerthel dated August of the same year.

In 1783 or 1784 Doppelmair emigrated to Russia, where he first worked as a military doctor, then as a family doctor for the Demidow family in Moscow . From 1799 he was court doctor and councilor and then until 1803 city physician in St. Petersburg . From 1803 to 1810 he traveled to Germany as a correspondent for the University of Dorpat , where he stayed in Coburg , Heidelberg , Leipzig and Mannheim . From 1810 to 1812 he was the city physician in Moscow and suffered considerable losses in the fire in Moscow in 1812, after which he worked as a hospital doctor in the interior of the country and finally as a general practitioner in Narva until his death.

Doppelmair was married to Karoline Sophie, b. von Schlammersdorf, widowed von Schirnding (1750? - 1823). It remains unclear whether the doctor Johann Gabriel Gottfried Doppelmair, who also studied in Jena and later practiced in Petersburg, is a younger brother.
