Johann Georg Beutner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Awarded a doctorate, 1815

Johann Georg Beutner (* 1788 in Grünstadt ; † July 21, 1859 in Bad Bergzabern ) was a German medic.

Life

Beutner was the son of a surgeon in Grünstadt and studied medicine at Heidelberg University from July 1807 . When he enrolled , he stated that he was “poor” . On October 31, 1815 he received his doctorate there after submitting the dissertation "De quibusdam praesidiis chirurgicis in pneumatosi intestinali administrantis" as a doctor of medicine .

In 1816, the Bavarian state government employed Johann Georg Beutner as a 2nd class canton doctor in the Rhine district , based in Mutterstadt , where he was still in office in 1819. From 1820 onwards, Beutner worked as a cantonal doctor, 1st class, in Bad Bergzabern and stayed there until his retirement in 1859. When he was retired on March 21, he was appointed to the royal council. On December 11, 1854, he had already received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit from Saint Michael .

Johann Georg Beutner was married to Karoline Franziska Friederike Fliesen (1799–1829) from Kaiserslautern , daughter of the Protestant consistorial director Johann Wilhelm Fliesen . Their son Adolf (* 1825) also became a doctor.

In 1828 the doctor was one of the Palatine complainants who still made financial claims against the former occupying power of France; he estimated an outstanding amount of 1106 francs or 205 guilders.

Act

Johann Georg Beutner is often quoted in contemporary medical publications with comments on technical issues, e.g. B. 1857 on the treatment of typhus , 1858 on the emergence of a diphtheria epidemic in Dierbach .

The authorities also used him to investigate crimes. In 1838 he examined a woman who had killed her child in Rechtenbach , autopsied the infant's body and prepared extensive reports and expert opinions on this, which appeared in the specialist press. In 1854, Beutner carried out the autopsy of the exhumed body in Kapsweyer in a child homicide , which was reported in the newspapers. Also in 1838 he stopped the sale of supposed fever drops from a barber from Schaidt ; he had had it checked for health hazards of his own accord.

The doctor gained national notoriety during examinations in a parapsychological matter in Bad Bergzabern, which at the time caused an international sensation and about which there is extensive literature and newspaper reports. An 11-year-old girl named Philippina Senger suffered from a poltergeist in 1852 , for which no natural explanation could be found. Doctor Beutner examined everything carefully and finally took the child into his house so that it could have peace and quiet and be spared the curious. He wrote a detailed report on the case for Justinus Kerner , which he published in his “Magikon” collection .
