Jürgen Probst (born January 19, 1927 in Hanover ; † October 10, 2016 ) was a German trauma surgeon .

Life

After completing high school in Hanover, Probst became a flak helper before the end of World War II and a flag junker in 1944 . After the war he studied at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover and at the Technical University of Hanover . During his studies he became a member of the Burschenschaft Alt-Germania in the winter semester of 1946/47 . He then moved to the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . In 1952 he received his license and doctorate in Mainz . He completed his surgical training with Alfons Lob , Georg Maurer and Franz Schede . In the mid-1950s he came to the professional association accident clinic Murnau . After his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich (1969) he became medical director of the Murnau Accident Clinic. In 1992 he retired .

Probst campaigned for a contemporary development of the Murnau Accident Clinic and achieved the expansion into a modern trauma center of worldwide importance. In partial steps, he intensified the operation of the operating theater with increasing specialization and setting up his own departments for urology, hand, plastic and maxillofacial surgery and septic surgery, later for burn injuries and finally for neurosurgery. He also initiated and pushed the still unusual early transfer of seriously injured persons to the accident clinic and the rehabilitation of paraplegics.

In addition, he was active in over twelve national and international specialist societies, above all in the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU) and in the German Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery , of which he was President in 1977. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, when he was Secretary General of the DGU, he made intensive efforts to integrate the East German trauma surgeons into the West German specialist society.

He completed many military exercises between 1963 and 1987 and was promoted to chief doctor of the reserve . He was married and had three children.
