Hans Fleischhacker (neurologist)
Hans Fleischhacker (born August 21, 1898 , † after 1947) was a German-British neurologist.
Life
After studying medicine, Fleischhacker was an assistant at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main from 1927 to 1933 . He then worked until 1936 as a teacher at the college for technical assistants in Berlin.
In 1936 Fleischhacker emigrated to Great Britain, where he became a researcher at Maudsley Hospital in London. He later worked as the director of the Department of Pathology at Shenley Mental Hospital . In 1947 he was naturalized in Great Britain.
After his emigration, Fleischhacker was classified as an enemy of the state by the National Socialists. In the spring of 1940 the Reich Main Security Office in Berlin put him on the special wanted list GB , a directory of people who, in the event of a successful invasion and occupation of the British Isles by the Wehrmacht, were to be located and arrested with special priority by the occupying forces following special SS units.
His main research interests were clinical neurology, the electrophysiological and chemical-serological examination of the mentally ill.
