Hermann Preysing
Heinrich Hermann Preysing (born June 28, 1866 in Nordhausen ; † October 30, 1926 in Cologne ) was a German ear, nose and throat doctor and university professor .
Career
Preysing, the son of a master tailor, studied medicine at the Universities of Greifswald , Munich and Rostock . In 1896 he became Otto Körner's assistant at the Ear Clinic. After receiving his doctorate in 1898, he continued his training at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) and in Breslau with Emil Ponfick .
From 1903 to 1906 he was an assistant doctor at the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in Leipzig , where he received his habilitation in 1903 under Adolf Barth . In 1906 he was appointed full professor at the Academy for Practical Medicine in Cologne, which later went to the medical faculty of the University of Cologne . In Cologne he initially headed the otological department in the Bürgerspital from 1906 to 1909 and, from 1909, also its rhino-laryngological department. By 1919, Preysing expanded both parts into an efficient ENT clinic.
When the University of Cologne was re-established in 1919, he was appointed full professor of ear, nose and throat medicine . In addition to the ENT polyclinic in the Bürgerspital, Preysing also took over the new university ENT clinic in Lindenburg.
In his scientific work, Preysing mainly dealt with pathological-anatomical work. He was co-author of the four-volume “Handbook of Special Surgery of the Ear and Upper Airways” by Leo Katz and Felix Blumenfeld , which had several editions.
Preysing died of heart failure in 1926 at the age of 60 and was buried in Cologne's Melaten cemetery (hallway 20 (E)). The grave has now been cleared.
