Julius Moses (pedagogue)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Moses (* 22. January 1869 in Altdorf (Pfalz) ; † 12. July 1945 in Tel Aviv ) was a Mannheim doctor and remedial teacher , who for medical improvements in education and population welfare , including child and adolescent psychiatry , began and also took a leading position in the Jewish life of Mannheim .

Live and act

Moses studied medicine and received his doctorate in 1892 at the University of Strasbourg with the dissertation "Contributions to the knowledge of the etiology and genesis of mental disorders in childhood" . He settled in Mannheim in 1896 as a general practitioner . He also held important honorary positions as a poor doctor and welfare doctor. He looked after children in homes and took care of young people who were difficult to educate. He worked as a lecturer at the Fröbelseminar and the Mannheim Commercial College (forerunner of today's university ).

As a member of the Society for Curative Education , he advocated reforms in social affairs across Germany. Moses supported Joseph Anton Sickinger in establishing the Mannheim school system . He was the initiator of the so-called Mannheim school doctor movement and in 1904 became the first full-time school doctor in Germany. The Mannheim model was then transferred to the Prussian provinces, with school doctors initially being assigned to the school authorities and from 1924 to the newly founded youth and health authorities.

In the Jewish community of Mannheim he devoted himself to the Israelite sick benefit fund and was temporarily head of the charitable August Lamey Lodge . He played a leading role in the community and was its last head from 1923 to 1933. As one of the first and most important Mannheim Zionists of the older generation, he was related to Theodor Herzl and especially to Max Bodenheimer , on whose 50th birthday he published an article in 1905, and worked in various organizations initiated by Bodenheimer.

After 1933 he lost his license to practice medicine under National Socialism and was only allowed to work as a “ medical practitioner ”. Finally, under the pressure of persecution, he emigrated with his family to Palestine , where he was involved in establishing the health care system and died in 1945.

Remarks

  1. ↑ So the representation of Osten 2004 (see web links ), p. 46 f., While according to Bauer 2002 (see web links ), p. 7, rather Paul Stephani 1904 first school doctor. In his publications from 1905/1906, Moses sometimes operated as a “general practitioner and city doctor”, but not as a school doctor.
