Hermann Marx (doctor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Marx (born February 5, 1877 in Worms , † December 8, 1953 in Würzburg ) was a German ENT doctor.

Hermann Marx was a son of high school professor Rudolf Marx (1835-1896) and Rosine Salome, geb. Rasor. From 1897 he studied in Giessen, Heidelberg and Bern. In 1902 he received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Heidelberg . He then worked for six months in a sanatorium in Switzerland before working at the University of Heidelberg as an assistant at the pathological institute, in surgery and in the eye and ear clinic. From 1907 he continued his medical studies and was habilitated in 1909 at the University of Heidelberg with Werner Kümmel .

In 1911/1912, Marx was a substitute professor for rhino-laryngology at the University of Freiburg . During the First World War he did military service and was awarded the Hanseatic Cross in 1918/1919 . Until 1920 he headed the hospital for ear, nose and throat patients in Heidelberg. After teaching as a non-budgetary professor at the University of Heidelberg from 1915, he continued this from 1920 to 1924 as a non-scheduled, extraordinary professor.

From 1924 Marx was the first full professor for ear, nose and throat medicine at the University of Münster , before he became full professor for ear, nose and throat medicine at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg in 1928 , succeeding Paul Manasse . At the same time he also served as the head of the university clinic and polyclinic for ear, nose and larynx diseases. From 1935 to 1947 he was also director of the Luitpold Hospital , where he served as chief physician of the reserve hospital during the Second World War. In 1945 the military government removed him from his position as full professor and head of the university clinic, but at the same time he was reinstated as its acting head. In 1947 he retired .

Marx was particularly concerned with diseases of the nose and larynx. He worked on the manual of internal medicine (3rd edition, volume 6, part 1, 1941).

In 1940 Hermann Marx was accepted as a member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in the Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Section . He was an honorary member of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngologists , which donated the Hermann Marx Prize in 1953, the year he died.

His house in Würzburg is now a corps house (Corps Makaria Guestphalia).
