Joachim Hein

Joachim Hein (born July 4, 1901 in Neisse , Province of Silesia ; † May 5, 1987 in Sierksdorf ) was a German internist and university professor in Kiel.

Life

Hein studied preclinical studies at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin and the Philipps-Universität Marburg . In 1919 he was reciprocated in the Corps Guestphalia Marburg . After the Physikum in Marburg, he moved to the Friedrichs University Halle , the University of Leipzig and the University of Rostock . He passed the state examination in 1923 and was on 1 February 1926 in Hamburg for Dr. med. PhD . At the 1st Medical Clinic of the New General Hospital Eppendorf he worked under Professor Ludolph Brauer . In 1931 he made his way to Aukrug as a senior physician at the newly built lung sanatorium , which was officially declared a hospital in 1932. From 1934 to 1966 he was the medical director of the Tönsheide Hospital, which is known today as the Aukrug Specialist Clinic . On October 25, 1938 , he qualified as a professor for internal medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel . From May 30, 1939, he was a lecturer there, and from July 24, 1950, an adjunct professor of internal medicine. In 1938 the Hein-Kremer-Schmidt (collapse therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis) was published, in which Hein wrote, as a co-author, especially about thoracoplasty in advanced tuberculosis. Hein advocated a centralized fight against tuberculosis . At his suggestion, the “flying tuberculosis doctor ” was created, who could be requested by the public health authorities to evaluate x-rays . In addition, as early as 1944, he relied on serial x-ray examinations in the drafting of recruits . In the post-war period in Schleswig-Holstein, he was able to continue implementing his concept of tuberculosis control. On his initiative, Hamburg passed the Screen Image Act in 1945 and Schleswig-Holstein passed the X-ray screening law in 1947. This procedure became a model for other countries , as the law brought tuberculosis among refugees in Schleswig-Holstein under control after the Second World War . Retired in the same year, he lived with his family in Sierksdorf on the Baltic Sea.
