Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben

Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben , born Heinrich Adolf Schwager (born March 1, 1819 in Frankfurt (Oder) , † September 24, 1895 in Berlin ) was a German surgeon, general practitioner and scientist. In Berlin he taught at the Charité and at the Friedrich Wilhelms Institute.

Life

Heinrich Adolf was born as the son of Johann August Andreas Schwager and his wife Friederike Dorothea Ulrike, née Jochmuß. Both parents died in 1822. That is why the only three-year-old was taken over by his uncle , the then Justice Inspector Dr. jur. Heinrich Karl Ludwig adopted Bardeleben , since then has had the double name Schwager-Bardeleben and on May 2, 1848 received permission to use the sole name Bardeleben .

His upbringing in the house of the adoptive father took place in the Protestant faith. After attending grammar school in Frankfurt (Oder), Bardeleben began studying human medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin in 1837 , which he did at the Grand Ducal Ruprecht Karls University in Heidelberg , at the Hessian State University in Gießen and finally at the Sorbonne Paris continued. He completed his residency training in 1840 at the Physiological Institute in Heidelberg. In connection with his doctorate in 1841 he put down the double name Schwager-Bardeleben . On December 15 of the same year he was promoted to Dr. med. PhD.

Heinrich Adolf Bardeleben began his professional career in 1843 as an assistant at the physiological institute and prosector in Giessen. Here he worked since 1844 as a lecturer , was in 1848 associate professor and acquired the same year the academic degree of Dr. phil. He followed the call of the Royal University of Greifswald as an associate professor to the chair for surgery in 1848. In the following year he became a full professor at the University of Greifswald. In this position, he founded his own German surgery school and took targeted steps to break away from the previously dominant French surgery. In addition to his teaching activities, he also worked as an author of important papers on surgery. From 1852 he published the “Handbuch der Chirurgie und Operationslehre”, which was then available in 4 volumes by 1859. For a long time, this work was considered the leading standard work for surgical methodology.

During this time he married and the sons Karl (1849-1918) and Adolf (1861-1914) and the daughter Marie Charlotte (1852-1916) were born in the Bardeleben family. His adoptive father Heinrich Karl Ludwig Bardeleben (1775–1852) died in 1852.

For the academic years 1863/64 and 1876/1877 he was elected rector of the Friedrich Wilhelms University . In the German War Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben was employed as a general doctor in 1866. Here he gained experience of the special features of medical care for war casualties on the battlefield. These found their way into the further profiling of the medical training of doctors. In 1868 he visited the British surgeon Joseph Lister, 1st Baron Lister (1827-1912) in Edinburgh to study his antiseptic wound treatment. He later applied this principle throughout. In the same year he was appointed to succeed Johann Christian Jüngken (1793 - 1875) as director of the Charité Surgical Clinic . He held this position until 1895. Since he was considered an excellent teacher of surgical anatomy, he was also given a full professorship . At the same time he taught at the Medical and Surgical Friedrich Wilhelm Institute . He attached great importance to the quality of the clinical teaching. In the Franco-Prussian War he served again as general doctor . And in the following years he influenced the reorganization of the military medical system. He laid down the experiences he gained in this process in individual writings on war surgery.

In 1872 he was a founding member of the German Society for Surgery . He worked closely with his specialist colleagues for many years. This was particularly close to Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) and August Hirsch (1817–1894), to whom he worked for over 40 years of texts on general surgery and vascular surgery for the annual reports of the Berlin University. In addition, his publications appeared quite regularly in German and French journals. Bardeleben gave a much-noticed speech on the occasion of the commemoration ceremony for the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität on August 3, 1877 on the subject of "About the importance of scientific studies for the training of doctors".

In 1882 Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben was appointed secret chief medical officer. And in the same year Kaiser Wilhelm I promoted him to major general for his services to improve war medicine. Since Bardeleben until 1888 the cancer sick Emperor Friedrich III. treated, he was raised to the Prussian nobility on December 11, 1891 in Neugattersleben with the name of Bardeleben .

Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben died on September 24, 1895 at the age of 76 in Berlin. His grave of honor is located in the Old St. Matthew Cemetery in Berlin Schöneberg. His daughter is the writer Marie Charlotte Bardeleben, known as Mite Kremnitz . His sons Karl von Bardeleben and Adolf von Bardeleben (surgeon) also became physicians.
