His father was the first clinic manager here. His mother was Clarissa von Gudden (1833-1894). His siblings included a. the student Ernst Gudden (1856–1875), the painter Max Gudden (1859–1893), neurologist Clemens Gudden (1861–1931), the painter Rudolf Gudden (1863–1935), the widow Paul Ritters (1829–1907) Emma Ritter born Gudden (1865–1931) and Anna Gudden, wife of the Nuremberg psychiatrist and university professor Hubert von Grashey (1839–1914) and mother of radiologist Rudolf Grashey (1876–1950).

Vita

In the winter semester of 1886/87 he began studying medicine in Munich , but then moved to Würzburg. Here he did his doctorate in 1890 on the roots of the trigeminal nerve , which immediately earned him a publication in the Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Psychiatrie. During his studies in 1887 he became a member of the Germania Würzburg fraternity .

historical building of the Munich clinic to the left of the Isar

In 1891, after completing his doctorate in Würzburg, he first worked at the Charité mental hospital in Berlin and then moved to Tübingen. In 1896, after completing his habilitation in Tübingen, two years later he took over the management of the psychiatric department of the Munich clinic on the left of the Isar. The establishment of this department of the hospital, so to speak, as a city asylum had become necessary because it was clear at the time that an independent psychiatric clinic in Munich should be built separately from the local mental asylum there. When the Psychiatric University Clinic opened in Munich in autumn 1904, Hans Gudden moved to the new clinic and was appointed associate professor for psychiatry. He ran this clinic until 1922 without giving any significant lessons. He was released from his lectureship in 1937. Hans Gudden died after a brief illness on June 2, 1940 in Munich.
