Live and act

Hans Runge was born as the son of Pastor Carl Runge (* 1859) and his wife Käthe, b. Giese, born in the south-east Mecklenburg residence town of Neustrelitz. Only a few months after his birth, the family moved to Fürstenberg / Havel , where the father had become a pastor at the end of 1892. In Fürstenberg, where his grandfather had already been a pastor, Runge spent the formative years of his childhood and youth. He later studied medicine at the Universities of Tübingen , Leipzig and Rostock . In Tübingen he became a member of the Germania Tübingen fraternity in 1911 . In Rostock he put his 1919 state exam and was in 1920 with a dissertation on the "X-ray treatment of brain and spinal cord tumors" doctorate . Runge initially worked as an assistant doctor at the Pathological Institute and the University Children's Clinic in Rostock as well as the midwifery school in Elberfeld . In 1921 he became an assistant at the Rostock University Women's Clinic under the direction of Otto Claudius Sarwey (1864–1933). There he met Robert Schröder (1884–1959), whom he followed in 1922 as a senior physician at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . In 1924 Runge completed his habilitation with a paper on the plastic expansion of the birth canals. In 1928 he was appointed associate professor . In 1932 he followed the call to Greifswald as full professor for obstetrics and gynecology . There Hans Runge received appointments to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and the University of Breslau in 1934 . He decided on Heidelberg and succeeded Heinrich Eymers (1883-1965) there.

In the time of National Socialism , Runge was a member of the NSDAP and was considered a staunch National Socialist . In Heidelberg, seven out of eight of the scheduled assistants and at least four extraordinary assistants joined the NSDAP, SA or SS . All employees participated in the implementation of forced sterilization and eugenic abortions. Runge arranged for the scientific evaluation of the sterilization and implemented a eugenic research program to increase the birth rate, in which the majority of the postdoctoral and doctoral students were involved.

From 1954 to 1956 he was President of the German Society for Gynecology and organized its congress in 1956 in Heidelberg. The society later made him an honorary member .

Hans Runge headed the Heidelberg clinic until March 1964. Josef Zander (1918–2007) was appointed his successor . Runge died in October 1964 at the age of 72 during the German Gynecological Congress in Munich as a result of a traffic accident. He was buried in the Heidelberg mountain cemetery .

Hans Runge has been made an honorary member of many national and international specialist societies. On his 70th birthday in 1962 he was awarded the Grand Cross of Merit . The laudation was given by the President of the German Society for Gynecology , Gustav Döderlein .
