from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Kleinschmidt (born June 18, 1885 in Elberfeld , † January 4, 1977 in Bad Honnef ) was a German pediatrician.

Life

Kleinschmidt studied medicine at the Albert Ludwig University and became a member of the Corps Rhenania Freiburg in 1904 . The judge Eduard Kleinschmidt was his brother. In 1909 he became an assistant doctor in the children's department of the Medical University Clinic in Marburg. There he got to know and admire Emil von Behring . In 1913 he completed his habilitation and went to Adalbert Czerny at the Charité , where he was appointed professor in 1918. His research here focused on infant nutrition. In this context, he and Czerny announced the butter flour food, which was named Czerny-Kleinschmidtsche food. During this time, his studies on urinary tract infections were published and the term pyuria was coined. In 1919 he became head of the children's hospital in Berlin-Weißensee.

In 1920, at the age of 35, he received an appointment as associate professor at the University of Hamburg . In 1924 he was appointed full professor and director of the Hamburg University Children's Clinic. In 1931 he followed the call to the much larger clinic in Cologne . When she was destroyed in World War II, she found temporary accommodation on the Rhine island of Nonnenwerth . From 1939 to 1942 Kleinschmidt was prorector at the University of Cologne.

He did not want to accept the call to the Charité in favor of Cologne, but on the way home he came between the fronts advancing from the west and east and therefore returned to Berlin. There he acted as director of the university children's clinic at the Berlin Charité between 1944 and 1945.

In 1946 he took over the orphaned chair at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He pushed ahead with the new building, organized the first post-war congress of the German Society for Pediatrics and re-established the German Association for the Care of Children .

Kleinschmidt became a member of the NSDAP in 1937 . From 1944 onwards, Kleinschmidt was still a member of the scientific advisory board of the authorized representative for health care Karl Brandt . In 1933 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

After retirement in 1953, Kleinschmidt retired and took care of the prevention of tuberculosis and poliomyelitis .

Since his acquaintance with Emil von Behring in Marburg, Kleinschmidt devoted himself particularly to bacteriology , serology and immunology . Infant nutrition, nutritional therapy, the treatment of infectious diseases ( diphtheria , poliomyelitis , scarlet fever , whooping cough and tuberculosis ) and hematology , diabetes mellitus and nephrotic syndromes were other focal points of his work.

As in 1933 in Cologne, he also founded a curative education department in Göttingen .
