family

His grandparents were the butcher Markus and Eva Winternitz in the Bohemian town of Deschna. His uncle Adolf was a sausage maker in Linz .

His father, Leopold Winternitz (around 1833–1911) worked as a doctor in Jungwoschitz and married the merchant's daughter Emma (Eva) Eichberg in Tábor in 1862 . Hugo's six brothers included Walther (* 1865) and Max (* 1870). Leopold worked in Linz from around 1871 and was medical director of the Riesenhof hydropathic institute in Linz-Urfahr from 1890–1895 . Leopold was also active as a writer under a pseudonym.

Life

Hugo Winternitz passed the Matura at the Akademisches Gymnasium in Linz in 1888 and studied medicine in Prague, Vienna, Strasbourg (1890), where he researched the chemistry of milk and protein in urine and tryptophan , and again in Vienna, where he received his doctorate in 1894 has been. The internist Winternitz in Vienna, like his parents, converted from the Jewish to the Roman Catholic faith in 1889.

From 1894 to 1895 he was assistant to Felix Hoppe-Seyler at the Physiological-Chemical Institute of the University of Strasbourg , from 1895 to 1897 assistant at the Hygiene Institute of the University of Berlin and from 1897 to 1900 assistant to Josef von Mering at the Medical University Policlinic in Halle. He was scientifically active in the fields of hydrotherapy and physiological therapy. From 1897 he received an additional salary from Merck averaging 8,000 marks for his pharmaceutical research. He was the inventor of iodipine, a mixture of sesame oil and 10% iodine, as well as a tasty powdery castor preparation. In 1899, due to his scientific achievements as assistant to Professor von Mehring, he was given permission to practice medical practice in the German Reich without taking the state examination . He published many papers on physiological chemistry , especially lipid metabolism.

Because of his Catholic denomination , he did not become senior physician and head of the internal department of the Elisabeth Hospital in Halle until 1904. In 1908 he was appointed titular professor . During the First World War he worked as an advisory specialist in the IV Army Corps and was awarded the Iron Cross II class in 1916. In 1919 he was appointed honorary professor. In 1925 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

Since his grandparents, whom he did not mention in his application, were Jewish, his children were considered half-Jews and were therefore exposed to anti-Jewish reprisals.
