Helmut Träbert

Helmut Träbert (born May 28, 1920 in Magdeburg , † October 5, 1974 in Idar-Oberstein ) was a German doctor and scientist.

Life

Träbert passed his Abitur in August 1938 in Werflingen (Reg. Bez. Magdeburg) and studied medicine at the Georg August University of Göttingen, alternating with medical work at the front during the war . In 1944 Träbert submitted his doctorate on the subject of the permeability of 14 Schott filters and their usefulness for generating homogeneous radiation in the visible through a differential process ; the approval was granted in April 1945.

In June 1946, Helmut Träbert was appointed head of the health department in Burg near Magdeburg and Jerichow I (city and district) and acting medical officer. There he devoted himself to combating epidemics and drew attention to malnutrition, especially among children.

After he was urged as a medical officer by the new political leadership to prepare reports on the political reliability of his colleagues and he was forbidden to continue criticizing the health system, he fled the Soviet-occupied zone in 1949 and opened his first practice in Zewen near Trier in 1954 .

In 1957 he began his research on ultra-stimulus therapy and published his experiences and treatment successes. Ultrareizstrom (URS), also called Träbertstrom, belongs to the group of low-frequency currents and has an analgesic (pain-relieving) and detonating effect.

He later moved with his family to Kempfeld in the Hunsrück, where he practiced until the end of his life.

World War II had made him a staunch pacifist. He became politically active, which was expressed in countless correspondence with high-ranking contemporaries and in critical poems and letters to the editor to newspapers. In 1960 he was also involved in the founding of the DFU ( German Peace Union ), whose state chairman for Rhineland-Palatinate he temporarily became. Six children resulted from two marriages, including the qualified pedagogue Detlef Träbert .
