from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Franz Rauch , also Johann Franziskus Rauch, (* 1685 in Breitenbrunn , Neumarkt district in the Upper Palatinate . † October 25, 1750 in Vienna ) was an Austrian doctor , court medic and rector of the University of Vienna .

Johann Franz Rauch studied medicine in Altdorf and had his medical disputation in 1711 . He then practiced as a resident doctor in Passau and Ybbs . In 1713 he distinguished himself as a doctor against the Viennese plague . After repeating in 1714 at the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna, he became a member of the Leopoldina in 1715 with the surname Charixenes . In 1720 he became professor institutionum at the medical faculty in Vienna: "Oratio de salubritate Austriae". In 1722 he became censor of the medical faculty and superintendent of the Stumpff Foundation. In 1723 he became a theoretical professor at the Medical Faculty in Vienna. With the disputations "De aere et esculentis" and "De Potulentis", he angered the clergy because he criticized their behavior. He was then suspended from office for ten months. Therefore, he applied for the position of Hofmedicus and was hired in May 1727 as a second supernumerarius. He was then restored to his chair by imperial grace.

When the Spanish court medical officer Joseph Pujol died in 1730, Johann Franz Rauch was the first supernumerarius to join the ranks of the six paid court medical officers of Charles VI . on. Franz Anton Dominicus Vogel (1720/1752) and Salvatore Nicola Sardagna (1724/1762) applied for the vacancy, both of whom were hired despite considerable skepticism on the part of the Lord Chamberlain. In 1732 Rauch became a practical professor and a year later a senior at the medical school. Before 1737 he became rector of the University of Vienna.

After his death in Vienna he left six siblings as his heirs.
