Ignaz Sendtner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ignaz Sendtner (born June 27, 1858 in Munich , † January 18, 1936 in Augsburg ) was a German doctor, pathologist , senior medical advisor and conservator for cryptogams . He made a contribution to the scientific research of alcohol diseases among employees in the beer industry.

Life

Sendtner was the eldest son from the second marriage of Theodor von Sendtner to Maximiliane, born Freiin von Pfetten . His stepbrother was the chemist Rudolf Sendtner . He grew up in Munich, where he made a “praiseworthy announcement” of the rating “very good” in the school year 1868/69 as a student of the first graduate class at the St. Bonifaz School in Luisenstrasse 13 . He studied medicine from 1878 to 1884 at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, where he began his medical practice.

Research at the pathological institute in Munich

As a staff member and coroner of Otto von Bollinger's pathological institute , he wrote the second volume of Bollinger's Munich medical treatises in 1891 (a total of 77 volumes in nine rows). On the basis of a 30-year death register from the city of Munich, he provided evidence that in Munich heart disease ranked third in the list of causes of death after tuberculosis and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system and that the lifespan of people involved in the beer industry was very considerably behind Average age lagged behind.

In the 27th edition of the scientific journal Gaea, Natur und Leben from 1891, published by Hermann Joseph Klein , one could read:

“[…] Munich appeared to be the most suitable soil for such an investigation. The annual beer consumption for the whole of Germany is 88 l, in Bavaria 209 l and in Munich especially 531 l (1888) and even 565 l in 1889. For obvious reasons, those employed in the beer industry drink far more than the rest of Munich Citizen. What unbelievable excess is done by some of these people may appear from the fact that a Munich brewer, who some time ago fell ill from the effects of his drunkenness in a Berlin clinic, claimed to have drunk about 40 pints a day. [...] "

Theodor Weyl wrote in his Handbook of Hygiene in 1901 :

"[...] As a result of this, Sendtner has finally carried out statistical surveys on the lifespan and causes of death among those employed in the beer industry. On the basis of studying 30 years of the Munich death register, he comes to the conclusion that firstly, the lifespan of people belonging to the beer trade is not insignificantly behind the median age (calculated from the age of 20), and secondly in the series of causes of death the heart diseases, which in turn are undoubtedly caused by the enormous beer consumption, play an important role. According to an overview compiled by him from the tables of the life insurance companies, brewers can only expect 22.33 years at the age of 20 compared to 41.49 years, on which people from all classes of work can still count. - One understands when under these circumstances the “Bavarian beer heart” and the “Bavarian beer kidney” have already become proverbial, and one has to admit that beer is by no means a harmless drink, but should be placed alongside brandy as an equal. "

Compared to Munich, Sendtner counted only 36 cases of heart disease out of 809 deaths in Berlin , which corresponds to a share of 4.4 percent.

military service

He was promoted to medical officer of the Bavarian Landwehr (1st contingent) in 1893 and, in 1898, dismissed from military service with permission to wear the uniform with the badges prescribed for those who had passed. His officers' personal files are in the Bavarian Main State Archives .

District Medical Service

In 1902 he was appointed district doctor 1st class at the district office in Munich. He then worked as an employee of the district medical officer at the Chamber of the Interior of the district government of Upper Bavaria . In 1911 he moved to Augsburg, where he again worked as a royal district doctor.

In this function he examined the growth conditions of students in the area of ​​responsibility of the Augsburg district office in the mid-1910s . For this purpose, six, eight and twelve year old school children were measured and weighed during school medical examinations between 1913 and 1916. He came to the result that the influence of the war diet in growth and weight was not to be assessed as significant in the students examined there and was about 1 cm in length and 0.5 kg in weight.

Private

Ignaz Sendtner was married twice. With his first wife Maria, née Huber, he had a son, Max. After the divorce in 1897, he married Maria, née Giehrl, in 1906. With her he had the daughters Paula Kohlhaupt (* 1904) and Hedwig (* 1920).
