Life

Hermann Stutte studied a. a. in Freiburg i. Br. , Paris and Königsberg i. Pr. And joined the SA in 1933 to advance professionally. He received his doctorate in human medicine from the University of Giessen under Robert Sommer in 1934 . Then he began an extensive follow-up examination of former welfare children, which led to their habilitation. With his teacher Hermann Hoffmann , he moved from Gießen to the University of Tübingen in 1936 . There he took over the clinical youth home founded by Robert Eugen Gaupp in 1938 . In 1937 he joined the NSDAP and in 1938 the NS-Ärztebund . From 1939 to 1941 he served in the Wehrmacht , but took part in the founding congress of the German Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Vienna in 1940. In 1941, he welcomed the “structure of welfare institutions according to biological and prognostic criteria” in the journal The Public Health Service . The state has "for financial and genetic reasons, a natural interest in knowing whether in individual cases education at public expense is really worthwhile." In 1944, after completing his habilitation, he became a lecturer in Tübingen.

From 1946 he went as a senior physician with the new director of the University Neurological Clinic Werner Villinger at the University of Marburg, where in 1950 he became an adjunct professor and department head of the newly established child and adolescent psychiatry. In the essay "Contemporary tasks and problems of youth welfare", Villinger / Stutte pointed out the youth psychiatry again in 1948 to the "socio-biological inferiority of the human material they care for": "The sighting, screening and management of this stranded property of young neglected people" is a medical-psychiatric task . The "creation of a labor service (with supervision by the youth psychiatric side)" is suitable for this. In 1954, Stutte received the first chair for this subject in Germany. In 1956, in the Handbook of Home Education , he called for “the (particularly infectious) core group of chronic anti-sociality to be given appropriate special treatment as early as possible ...”. He became chairman of the German Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and President of the Union of European Pediatric Psychiatrists . In 1958, the Lebenshilfe for mentally handicapped children was founded in Marburg . Stutte became a member of the Scientific Advisory Board and the Legal Committee of Lebenshilfe, which called for the sterilization of the disabled.

Stutte was an honorary doctor of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Marburg and the Law Faculty of Göttingen. The special school for the sick at the Philipps University Clinic was named after him. For a long time, the Federal Association for Life Aid for Mentally Handicapped Children christened its advanced training facility “Hermann-Stutte-Haus”.
