Gunther Duda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunther Duda (born November 10, 1926 in Rutenau , Opole district , Upper Silesia province ; † December 10, 2010 in Dachau ) was a German physician, specialist in internal diseases and author.

Life

Duda grew up in the then German Silesia and attended the high school for boys in Neumarkt / Oberschlesien. In 1943 he was sent to the air force helper school in Stettin and in 1944 he passed a secondary school diploma there. However, this Abitur was not recognized after 1945.

After training in Szczecin, he was transferred to the Eastern Front . In the winter of 1944/45 he suffered severe frostbite on his feet and was admitted to a hospital at the Vienna Hofburg . After his recovery he came to Purkersdorf in Austria and experienced the end of the war as a reserve officer applicant. He quickly broke away from the military, threw his weapon into a lake and destroyed his official papers.

He moved to Bavaria , where he found his father, who had to flee from Silesia, and looked for work in agriculture. In order to adapt to the strictly Catholic environment, Duda re-entered the church he had left during his time in the Hitler Youth . However, he knew how to avoid confession , which he found degrading. The Holy Communion was granted subsequently. In 1946/1947 he attended a special course for soldiers at the Oberrealschule in Munich - Pasing , where he passed the Abitur for the second time, but this time officially recognized. To be admitted to the course, he had to do construction work for six months. a. dragged bricks and stones at the house on the right . Finally, in the winter semester of 1947/48, he was able to begin studying medicine at the University of Munich . He also earned money as a peddler and coal carrier. After the summer semester of 1952, he passed his exams in Munich and received his doctorate in medicine. He wrote a paper on kidney function after the administration of tracers and used his wife, who was pregnant, as a test subject. During the oral exam his professor said: "You monster, you are using your own wife as a guinea pig!"

For the young doctor - as for many of his professional colleagues - there was initially only one unpaid job that he found in the Munich hospital on Biederstein. After a test case had been conducted, he received a monthly salary, which, however, could only cover the daily travel expenses from Schaftlach / Miesbach, where he lived with his family, to Munich. Initially, the wife and mother had to earn the living for the young family as a medical-technical assistant . A professional career for the doctor was only available after joining the church, from which he left again in 1952, or the trade union. Therefore, after completing his specialist training in 1963, he decided to open his own practice in Dachau, which he ran until 1998.

Mozart research

Duda dealt with medical research questions and wrote several books on the theories about Mozart's death, which are controversial in the professional world, u. a. also on the dispute over the death mask of the musician who died surprisingly early in 1791. These publications were mainly popular with foreign publishers, such as Japan in 1962. Through specialist colleagues, Duda then got in touch with the son-in-law of the neurologist Mathilde Ludendorff , who had a book publisher in Munich and in whose publishing house he became an important author. In the last years of his life he went on lecture tours and also gave philosophical lectures for the Bund für Gottterwissen .
