Johann Kaspar Gutberlet

Johann Kaspar Gutberlet (born April 13, 1748 in Hilders , † September 16, 1832 in Würzburg ) was a German physician and anatomist .

Life

After studying medicine in Würzburg with Elias Adam Papius and receiving his doctorate in 1773, Gutberlet became senior physician in Lohr a. Main . Later he worked as a councilor and prince-bishop's personal physician as well as an associate professor for pathology at the University of Würzburg .

At the University of Würzburg, where corpses were opened as early as 1564 on behalf of Prince Bishop Friedrich von Wirsberg to determine the cause of death, Johann Kaspar Gutberlet introduced special lectures in forensic medicine in June 1779 and was thus the first official lecturer in forensic medicine.

From 1782 Gutberlet was the first professor of forensic medicine at what is now the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University of Würzburg.

Since 1791 he announced lectures on “Forensic Medicine Science” in German.
