Johann Christian Kundmann (born October 26, 1684 in Breslau ; † May 11, 1751 there) was a German physician, numismatist , collector and book author as well as a pioneer of medical statistics .
Life
Kundmann studied medicine from 1704 to 1707 in Frankfurt an der Oder and Halle . He received his doctorate in 1708 and then completed his studies with a study trip through Germany and Belgium.
He practiced as a doctor in Breslau and at the same time worked on one of the first medical and scientific journals, Johann Kanold's collection of natural and medicinal stories as well as related art and literature stories (1717). On February 2, 1727 he was admitted to the Leopoldina as a member ( matriculation no. 396 ) with the academic surname Epimenides .
In addition to his actual job, he was a passionate collector of coins, natural objects and art objects and founded a natural history cabinet, whose catalog he published in 1737.
His detailed description of the course and the sociological consequences of the enormous summer flood of the Oder in 1736 in Silesia and in particular in Breslau in the book Die Heimsuchungen Gottes in Zorn und Grace about the Duchy of Silesia , published in Leipzig in 1742, is an important historical source.
