Heinrich Curschmann
Heinrich Curschmann (born June 28, 1846 in Gießen ; † May 6, 1910 in Leipzig ) was a German internist.
Curschmann was the son of the teacher Johann Heinrich Curschmann (1818-1902) and Anna Maria Wilhelm (1822-1888) in Gießen and studied human medicine from 1863 to 1868 at the University of Gießen. After his first job as an assistant doctor at the Rochushospital in Mainz, he worked at hospitals in Berlin-Moabit from 1871 before he was appointed medical director and head of the state hospitals in Hamburg in 1879. In Hamburg he was responsible for the planning and founding of the New General Hospital Eppendorf , which was built from 1884. From 1885 the completed departments under Curschmann started operations. In 1888, before the hospital building was finally completed, he gave up his post to change to professor at the University of Leipzig . In 1892 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
The Curschmann spirals and the Curschmann trocar refer to Heinrich Curschmann. In Hamburg-Eppendorf , Curschmannstrasse was named after him in 1899 and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Eppendorf University Medical Center (UKE). The grammar school built in this street was later given its name, but it no longer bears this name (today's “Eppendorf Comprehensive School”). Curschmannstrasse in Leipzig has been named after him since 1931.
On the UKE site, near the O 36 building, there is a bust of Curschmann created by the artist Max Lange .
In 1872 in Berlin he married Margarethe Lohde (1847–1915), a daughter of the secret medical council Dr. Hermann Lohde and Emilie Oppert. The geographer Fritz Curschmann and the physician Hans Curschmann were his sons, and the couple also had a daughter.
