biography

Heribert W. Gärtner studied Catholic theology, philosophy and psychology at the University of Freiburg . After working as a research assistant at the University of Freiburg from 1982 to 1987, he became the social science director of the Caritas Academy for Nursing Professions in Freiburg. In 1993 he took on the role of federal manager of the Society for Scientific Discussion Psychotherapy (GwG) in Cologne ; In 1994 he completed his doctorate at the University of Freiburg with a dissertation on the subject: Between management and charity: On the identity of the church hospital . He was a supervisor ( BdP ).

Since the winter semester 1994/95 Gärtner has been teaching as a professor for management and organizational psychology at the Catholic University of North Rhine-Westphalia . From 1995 to 1997 and again from 2001 to 2003 he was dean and until 2005 vice dean of the department of health care. From 2006 to 2011 he was chairman of the department's examination board; until 2016 deputy chairman.

Heribert W. Gärtner represents the more recent system theory of Luhmann's character, which for him represents an important foundation of the theoretical discussion about management and organizational research. The second source of his drive and inspiration is the gospel. He was particularly concerned with the life and work of both Saints Cosmas and Damian . The brothers were Christian healers between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD in the area of ​​today's Syria. They treated and healed the sick and lepers free of charge.

Heribert Gärtner was committed to the structural development of nursing science and was the initiator and member of the commission for the establishment of the German Institute for Applied Nursing Research eV in Cologne; from 2003 to 2009 its chairman of the board. He was the source of ideas for the establishment of nursing science at the Philosophical-Theological University Vallendar and from 2000 to 2004, together with Manfred Probst , chairman of the planning commission for the establishment of the nursing faculty. Since the summer semester of 2008, he has been teaching in addition to his work in Cologne as an honorary professor for nursing system research in the doctoral program of the nursing faculty of the Philosophical-Theological University of Vallendar.

In 2006, Heribert Gärtner and others founded the community of saints Anargyroi Kosmas and Damian in Cologne , which now consists of three regional communities (Cologne, Essen, Rhein-Erft district) and is active on a voluntary basis in various diaconal-therapeutic fields of work. He has been the leader of this community since its inception.
