from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Kellner von Kirchheim (* around 1415 in Kirchheim unter Teck , † 1470 in Ofen ), also known as Johann de Ketham or Johannes Kirchheimer , was a German doctor.

Fasciculus medicinae , 1493

Johannes Kellner von Kirchheim was born in Kirchheim around 1415 as the son of a master cooper. 1437 he enrolled as John Celearii de churches in the Vienna University matrikel and was there in 1444 as a licentiate of the liberal arts , the medical Baccalaureate exam . Also in 1444 he married the Viennese patrician daughter Ursula Herzog and illegally opened a medical practice in Vienna. It was not until 1448 that he received his medical license and he was elected Dean of the Vienna Medical Faculty in 1450, 1454 and 1461. However, the faculty issued him consistently negative leadership and achievement certificates.

As a supporter of Duke Albrecht VI. On August 12, 1461, he captured the Viennese city council in a coup, deposed the mayor and made a cattle dealer friend of his as head of the city. In 1463, after Duke Albrecht's death, Kirchheimer probably initiated the legend with which Michael Puff was accused of poisoning. In 1465 he was expelled from the medical school and fled to Ofen, where he died in the spring of 1470.

Under his Latinized name Johann de Ketham , a collection of medical treatises entitled Fasciculus Medicinae was first published in Venice in 1491 . However, this book was neither written nor compiled by Johannes Kellner von Kirchheim, but only used or recommended in class.
