Johann Helfrich Jüngken

Johann Helfrich Jüngken (born September 19, 1648 in Caldern (Hesse) ; † January 5, 1726 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a city physician in Frankfurt am Main and a member of the “ Leopoldina ” academy of scholars .

Life

Johann Helfrich Jüngken (also: Johann Helfrich Jungken) first studied theology, later medicine in Marburg and Gießen and finally received his doctorate in 1672 at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . Then he was an unsteady traveling doctor and practiced in Murten in Switzerland, among other places. He was later court physician to the Duke of Birkenfeld , personal physician to Count Erbach , later provincial physician in Mosbach in the Palatinate and finally city physician in Frankfurt am Main.

The title page of “Praxis Medica” (1689) by Johann Helfrich Jüngken shows that chymiatry is beginning to secure its place in medicine. The dominant new authority of the Ratio (shown on the title page with its daughters "Experientia" and "Chymia") begins to assert itself against the traditional medical doctrines of Greek and Roman antiquity.

On February 19, 1696, Johann Helfrich Jungken, nicknamed Apollonius I, was accepted as a member ( matriculation no. 219 ) of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
