December 1935 in Kronstadt .., Rum Brasov, Brassó clothes, Kingdom of Romania) was a Transylvanian doctor and medical researcher, ophthalmologist, director of the municipal hospital and city physicist of Kronstadt.

Life

As the son of the Austro-Croatian Imperial and Royal Major General Waso Ritter v. Branovaczky, whose former manor is near Mutnik, near Cazin (Bosnia-Herzegovina), he graduated from the ev. German grammar school in Mediasch (Hungarian Medgyes, Rum. Mediaș). He then studied medicine in Leipzig and Vienna, where on December 24, 1878, he graduated from the Medical University of Vienna, Alma Mater Rudolphina, as “Doktor med. of all medicine ”.

After Austria-Hungary had annexed the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the capital Sarajevo in 1878, Branovaczky returned to Transylvania and married Klothilde nee. Graffius (1860–1940), daughter of the Mayor of Medias, Georg Graffius, and sister of the Chief Justice Alfred Graffius (Schäßburg-Segesvár).

Between 1880 and 1899 Branovaczky worked for 19 years as a community doctor in Zeiden (Hungarian Feketehalom, Rum. Codlea), a town in the south-eastern Transylvanian Burzenland (Rum. Țara Bârsei).

In 1899 he was elected city ​​physician of Kronstadt (Hungarian Brassó, Roman Brașov). As such, he developed a versatile medical, social and societal activity. Under his leadership, the first urban sewer system was built in Kronstadt.

In 1911 Branovaczky went to Dresden, to the International Hygiene Exhibition organized by Karl August Lingner (1861-1916), whom he knew from his student days, and on his return gave such a precise and profound report on the knowledge gained there that under the impression of his specialist lecture, the then still Saxon city magistrate decided on a whole series of hygienic measures and had them carried out. At the same time, Branovaczky practiced for years in the State Eye Hospital and as a director in the Kronstadt Citizens Hospital. He was also active in the Protestant presbytery of Kronstadt and as a member of the Transylvanian Society for Natural Sciences in Sibiu.

Branovaczky retired in 1921, and with him the last German city physicist of Kronstadt (a city that had no longer belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary, but to the newly established Kingdom of Greater Romania since 1918) retired.
