from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Friedrich Ermel (born June 21, 1696 in Grimma ; † January 15, 1764 in Dresden ) was a German doctor who practiced in Dresden. In 1740, Elector Friedrich August II appointed him to the Saxon court physician.

Johann Friedrich Ermel was the eldest son of the rector of the Princely School in Grimma, Georg Ermel , and his wife Dorothea Huhn (born November 20, 1674 in Grimma; † July 9, 1723 ibid), daughter of the Grimma mayor Christian Huhn. After attending the Princely School from 1709 to April 19, 1715, he immediately began studying theology at the University of Leipzig at the behest of his father , but then prevailed with his wish to study medicine. The professors of medicine in Leipzig at the time were Polycarp Gottlieb Schacher , August Quirinus Rivinus and Michael Ernst Ettmüller . On March 27, 1719 Ermel received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Erfurt .

From 1722 to 1724 Ermel went on an extensive, not without risk, educational trip together with Freiherr Johann Christoph von Beer, which led through Russia to the Persian border. After his return, he set up a medical practice in Dresden, the success of which led to the award of the title "Hofmedicus" by Elector Friedrich August II. In 1740. Ermel died on January 15, 1764, he was buried in the now defunct St.Johannis cemetery in front of the Pirnaischer Tor in Dresden.
