Life

Johann August Hermann Heylandt came from a humble background in Hamburg. As an apprentice pharmacist , he came to Plön and was noticed by Professor Christoph Heinrich Pfaff from Kiel , who was the secretary of the medical council for the duchies for the thorough organization of pharmacists. Pfaff took Heylandt to his laboratory in Kiel and finally enabled him to study human medicine with friends . He went to the universities of Halle , Berlin and Kiel and was awarded a Dr. med. PhD. He dedicated his dissertation on the chemical analysis of the Radix Caincae , the root of Chiococca alba , which was new in Europe at the time , to his sponsor Pfaff.

On April 1, 1827, he opened his practice in Lübeck. Here he became a member of the Medical Association and the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities . In 1838 he gave a lecture on the need for a general hospital for Lübeck . In 1841 he was appointed city physician to succeed Johann Christian Jeremias Martini .

Differences of opinion between Heylandt, who is known for his quick-tempered temperament, and the medical profession led to his resignation from the Medical Association in 1846. In 1847 he was made an honorary member of the Pharmacists' Association in Northern Germany.

In 1848/49 he belonged to the Lübeck citizenship.
