Johann Heinrich Oesterreicher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich Austrians (* 1802 /1805 in Bamberg ; † 20th February 1843 in St. Georgen, now part of Bayreuth ) was a German anatomist .

Life

Heinrich Oesterreicher was the son of an appellate councilor and nephew of the Bamberg auxiliary bishop Johann Friedrich Oesterreicher . After studying at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich - one of his teachers was the anatomist Ignaz Döllinger - he completed his habilitation in 1828 . He then began as a private lecturer at the University of Munich until, on April 15, 1831 - initially provisionally - he was appointed teacher of anatomy at the surgical school in Landshut and was appointed director of the anatomical institute - probably as the successor to Joseph August Schultes . There he finally fell into megalomania and died in the St. Georgen insane asylum, at that time a suburb of Bayreuth.

Oesterreicher published an anatomical atlas of the human body with almost 200 anatomical stone engravings .

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The year of birth 1802 is taken from the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung of 1843 with its death report ( Volume 3 (1843), Column 181 ). Most sources name 1805 as the year of birth, but only appeared years later after the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung . The biographical entry in Pierer's Universal Lexicon of the Past and Present ( Volume 12, p. 473. ) is by no means correct, since Oesterreicher would have only been ten years old when his first work was published.
