Johann Schnitzler (* as János Schnitzler on April 10, 1835 in Groß-Kanizsa ; † May 2, 1893 in Vienna ) was an Austrian doctor ( laryngologist ) and university professor. He was the father of the doctor and writer Arthur Schnitzler .

Life

Johann Schnitzler, son of a poor master carpenter, studied medicine at the universities in Budapest and Vienna and was awarded a Dr. med. PhD. From 1863–67 he worked as an assistant to Johann von Oppolzer and qualified as a professor in 1864 for percussion and auscultation as well as for diseases of the respiratory and circulatory organs. In 1872 Schnitzler became the co-founder of the General Polyclinic Vienna, head of the laryngological department and in 1884 the medical director of the clinic. He remained so even after the completion of the new building planned by Andreas Streit ( Mariannengasse  10 / Höfergasse 1, Vienna-Alsergrund ) belonging to the outpatient clinic , and when Archduke Rainer opened it on December 30, 1892, he gave the keynote address .

In 1878 Schnitzler was a tit. associate professor, appointed (unpaid) associate professor at the University of Vienna in 1880. The pioneer of modern laryngology and internationally recognized larynx specialist wrote over 150 specialist articles and was a doctor in great demand, especially in stage circles, who brought his son Arthur into early contact with the theater. Adolf von Sonnenthal , Charlotte Wolter and many singers from the court opera were treated by Arthur Schnitzler, whom the maternal grandfather, the theater doctor Philipp Markbreiter, looked after as a patient. In 1884 he was awarded the Dannebrogden .

He had four children with her; oldest son was Arthur Schnitzler (1863–1931). Joseph Emil died shortly after his birth, on March 26, 1864. Julius Schnitzler (1865–1939) also became a doctor and university professor. The daughter Gisela (1867–1953) married the doctor Markus Hajek (1861–1941).
