Heinrich Strassmann
Heinrich Straßmann (also Strassmann) (* 1834 in Rawitsch , Posen ; † September 25, 1905 in Berlin ) was a German general practitioner and gynecologist .
Heinrich Straßmann was born in 1834 into a Jewish family, the fifth son of Heiman and Judith Straßmann. Ferdinand , Samuel (1826–1879) and Wolfgang Straßmann , later doctors like Heinrich, were his brothers. He attended high school in Lissa and studied medicine at the University of Berlin . Together with Ferdinand, Samuel and Wolfgang, Heinrich published the then well-known specialist journal “Graevelsche Notes for General Practitioners”. Heinrich Straßmann later practiced as a health insurance doctor and gynecologist in Berlin and was appointed to the Royal Medical Council. In the German-Danish War of 1864 he worked as an assistant doctor in the field hospital of the 6th Infantry Division. Since he lost his hearing in one ear due to an infection in 1866, he was unfit for military service in the next wars. During a cholera epidemic in Berlin, however, he volunteered for service in the slums. Heinrich married Louise Lewy and had four children, two sons and two daughters with her. Paul Ferdinand Straßmann , the eldest son, later became a well-known gynecologist. Heinrich Straßmann died in 1905 at the age of 71 from the consequences of an intestinal obstruction in Ernst von Bergmann's surgical clinic .
