Life

After finishing his school career, Kaup studied medicine at the Universities of Graz , Vienna and Munich . The study he completed in 1896 with the promotion of Dr. med. He then completed his medical traineeship first at the University Clinic of the University of Graz under Friedrich Kraus and then under Max von Gruber at the Hygiene Institute of the University of Vienna.

From 1899 he was a medical assistant at the Lower Austrian Lieutenancy and then a district doctor in the then large community of Floridsdorf near Vienna. From 1903 to 1907 Kaup was employed by the kk trade ministry as a commercial hygienist.

After completing his habilitation in Vienna in 1904 , he initially taught as a private lecturer at the Technical University of Vienna and from 1908 at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg , where he received a professorship in 1911. Kaup also worked as a department head for hygiene at the Berlin Reich Central Office for People's Welfare . Kaup was a member of the board of the Society for Racial Hygiene in Berlin . From 1912 Kaup was the first holder of an extraordinary professorship for social hygiene at the University of Munich. In 1913 he took over the deputy chairmanship of the German Society for Combating Venereal Diseases .

After the outbreak of the First World War , he was initially employed as an assistant doctor to the evidence of the kk Landwehr in Graz and from October 1914 as a hygiene officer at the Army High Command of the kuk army in Teschen , Austrian Silesia . In May 1915 he was promoted to staff physician .

Kaup resumed teaching at the University of Munich for a short time in 1917. From November 1917 he served as section chief director of the Health Section of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior. From August 10, 1918, he was one of four section heads in the newly created Imperial and Royal Ministry of Public Health under Minister Johann Horbaczewski , whose successor he was in German Austria : from October 30, 1918 to March 15, 1919, appointed by the State Council , he headed the state government Renner I as State Secretary (= Minister) of the State Office (= Ministry) for Public Health.

He then stayed in the Renner II state government with State Secretary for Social Administration Ferdinand Hanusch , since the health agendas were incorporated into this state office. On March 20, 1919, Kaup was appointed section head . On May 9, 1919, Julius Tandler was elected Undersecretary of State for Public Health. Kaup's work served the government of the new state primarily to reorganize the health administration.

He then resumed teaching at the University of Munich until his retirement in 1935. Kaup was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1925. After the handover of power to the National Socialists in 1933, he took over the chairmanship of the Kampfbund der Deutschösterreicher im Reich in Munich , which served to prepare for the "annexation" of Austria to the German Reich, which took place in 1938.

With Alfred Grotjahn , with whom he published the fundamental two-volume work “Concise Dictionary of Social Hygiene” in 1912, Kaup is one of the founders of social hygiene and social medicine. Kaup's main research areas were industrial hygiene, occupational diseases, social welfare and “racial hygiene”. After the First World War, he carried out research on constitutional theory and developed the Kaup index .
