from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Joachim Tholuck (born October 22, 1888 in Adlig Stendsitz, Karthaus district , today Stężyca Szlachecka, † January 20, 1972 ) was a Frankfurt school dentist.

life and work

After graduating from the humanistic grammar school in Spandau, Tholuck studied in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt / M. Medicine and later dentistry. He put the dental state examination in 1913 from Kiel and received his doctorate in 1923 under Otto Loos Dr. med. dent. In the same year he was elected director of the municipal school dental clinic in Frankfurt, which was then the most extensive institute of its kind in Europe . There he created the so-called “Frankfurt system”, in which examinations were carried out by full-time or part-time school dentists, but the treatment was carried out in private practice. In cooperation with the German Central Committee for Dental Care, he organized the first German school dental care week in Frankfurt in 1925. Together with Fritz Linnert and Alfred Kantorowicz he was accepted into the FDI in 1925 and became general secretary of the hygiene commission of this organization. Asked by Linnert in 1949 to bring the German Central Committee for Dental Care back to life, Tholuck founded the “German Committee for Youth Dental Care” and became its managing director. The new committee was supported by the central associations of the municipalities (city council, district council), the health professions, social and private insurance companies. The means to cope with the tasks are "instruction, education and propaganda in word, writing and image with press, leaflet, radio and film."

At the suggestion of the first German Health Insurance Conference in Munich in 1950, at the request of Tholuck, the "German Fluorine Commission" was founded to research and promote dental caries prophylaxis through "fluorine (id) ation" and a working committee was formed to which, in addition to Tholuck, the dentists Hans Joachim Schmidt and Wilhelm Kessler belonged. At this point in time, 32 people joined the Fluorine Commission as corresponding members, including Hertha Hesse , Walter Drum , Oskar Eichler , Hans Heuser , Heinrich Hornung , Alfred Kantorowicz , Eugen Wannenmacher , and others. a. Kurt Maretzky, the editor of Dental Reports , regularly provided the committee and the commission with pages for progress reports. The first meeting of the German Fluorine Commission on August 25, 1951, during the 11th German Dental Conference in Hamburg, received a lively response in the press and specialist press. Here the Kassel Senior Medical Officer Heinrich Hornung presented his plan for an experiment to fluoridate drinking water in the Kassel district of Wahlershausen for the first time.

Tholuck died in 1972 after a long illness. Peter Hippchen was appointed as the new managing director of the DAJ.
