From the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia reached on 20 July 1945 it verschlug the family to Thuringia . Helmtraut Michel started school in Stödten . From 1949 she attended the extended secondary school "JG Seume" in Weißenfels and passed her Abitur in 1953. She wanted to study medicine at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig , but was assigned to study history at the Philosophical Faculty . Unsatisfied with this, she de- registered after one semester. She went to the Children's Clinic in Leipzig as an auxiliary nurse for nine months . Supported by the clinic director Albrecht Peiper , she successfully applied for admission to the medical faculty in the fall semester of 1954 . After ten semesters she passed the state examination in December 1959 with the grade “very good”. In the same month she was promoted to Dr. med. PhD.

Career

Her compulsory assistant year began on January 15, 1960 at the Leipzig University Hospital . Under the impact of clerkships and clinical professors had their tendency to surgery recognized. On January 15, 1961, she began her surgical training with Herbert Uebermuth . On June 1, 1966, she passed the examination to become a specialist in surgery. As a senior physician, she turned to hand surgery , plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery . From March to June 1968 she completed additional studies in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . In September of the same year, she accepted the invitation of the surgical and orthopedic clinic at the University of Ljubljana to take part in a course organized by the Swiss Association for Osteosynthesis Issues. Your Leipzig clinic became an official AO clinic. She herself was appointed senior physician in 1970 and took over the management of the surgical and polyclinic department. In 1971 she was elected secretary of the Trauma Surgery Section of the Society for Surgery of the GDR and, on September 1, 1971, was entrusted with the management of the trauma surgery department of the surgical university clinic. In 1974 she took an AO advanced course. In 1975 she acquired a sub-specialization degree in traumatology . In the same year, the Academy for Medical Training of the DRR appointed her to the central specialist group for trauma surgery. The Working Group on Thermal and Combined Damage in the Trauma Surgery Section elected her chairman on January 1, 1978.

On September 1, 1981, Karl Marx University appointed her associate professor . From September 1, 1983, she was deputy director of the clinic. Appointed to the newly created full professorship for surgery / traumatology on September 1, 1984 , she headed the department for traumatology and reconstructive surgery in Leipzig . She dealt with burn disease and the organization of rapid medical aid . Together with three colleagues, she developed a temporary skin replacement made of polyurethane (Syspur-derm ® ). Under the rector Cornelius Weiss and the dean Gottfried Geiler , their academic title changed. From Prof. Dr. sc. med. became Prof. Dr. med. habil. (March 1, 1992). She lost her job as a result of the “change of elite” following German reunification . She fought for the right to continued employment, but did not want to work under reversible necks . On October 1, 1993, she opened an expert practice in the Königin-Luise-Haus , the entrance building of the former Southeast Polyclinic on Prager Straße. When a coronary artery bypass became necessary in 2005 , she did not stop working. Only a bronchial carcinoma and aggressive therapy attempts in the same year brought her ability to act to a standstill. Her first (divorced) husband was a great help at that time. She died at the age of 72 and was buried in the Südfriedhof (Leipzig) next to her second husband, Rudolf Arzinger .

Research and Teaching

In the student education she was teaching assistant (1966-1969) and supervisor of a top student group (1970). Since 1968 she has given lectures in general and special surgery, especially trauma surgery, as well as in the context of the International of Military Service Emergency Situations. In 1970/71 she took part in the lecture cycle University Pedagogy and University Methodology. After a successful trial lecture and colloquia on training and education issues as well as scientific problems in surgery, she received the Facultas Docendi on August 1, 1971 . On September 1, 1971, she was appointed university lecturer in the field of surgery. From 1971 to 1975 she headed a research collective dealing with the local treatment of burns . As part of a qualification contract, the completion of her PhD B was set for 1973. This turned out to be impossible because, despite all efforts, it was not possible to create the technical prerequisites and safety precautions for the experiments on the topic that was set. So at the end of 1972 she had to look for a new topic. She found inspiration in 1973 during internships in burn centers in England . From 1974 she was able to present partial results of her research work in the GDR and abroad. In 1977 she was able to submit her dissertation . After successfully defending it in the Rigorosum , she was promoted to Dr. sc. med. appointed.

From November 1980 to September 1983 she was the dormitory officer for the medicine department at Karl Marx University. On September 1, 1983, she took over the directorate for education and training in the field of medicine. Due to the intervention of Gerhard Fuchs , 1st Secretary of the SED district leadership, she was only allowed to hold the office temporarily for one year - because her husband was Austrian.
