Live and act
Heinrich Karl Emil Balthasar von Hoesslin was the son of the German painter-poet George von Hoeßlin and his wife Elisabeth, b. Merck. He had a younger sister with whom he grew up in Munich. In his hometown he graduated from elementary school, the Maximiliansgymnasium , where he passed the Abitur in 1897. He then studied medicine in Munich, Kiel and Berlin, then again in his native city of medicine with Fritz Voit, among others . Hoesslin finished his studies in 1902 with a doctorate in Dr. med. The subject of his nine-page dissertation was: Experimental investigations into blood changes in bloodletting . The assistant doctor working in his hometown married Emma Maier , the daughter of a superior , in November 1909 . In the same year he completed his habilitation on experimental studies on the physiology and pathology of table salt . The couple had an adopted son.
Shortly before the start of the First World War, the Hoesslin couple moved to Berlin. In the capital of the Reich, the doctor worked in the municipal hospital in Berlin-Lichtenberg . In 1920 Hoesslin was appointed chief physician of the department for internal medicine and medical director of the hospital. At the same time he was a professor of internal medicine at the Humboldt University and was active as a journalist. It is thanks to his co-initiative that the first communal pregnancy counseling center was able to start operating on the maternity ward in the Berlin-Lichtenberg hospital in 1920.
During the Second World War he served as a consultant internist in France and after 1945 worked as a doctor with his own practice in Munich.
On his deathbed, Hoesslin had expressed the wish that his fortune should go to a social foundation. As a result, his widow founded the Heinrich and Emma von Hoesslin'sche Foundation in 1962 for the purpose of youth education and youth welfare in suitable facilities in the city of Augsburg . In the latter city, Von-Hoesslin-Strasse commemorates the noble donors. Hoesslin was buried in Augsburg's Westfriedhof . The gravestone was donated by the city of Augsburg in grateful memory of him and his wife.
