Karl-Ludwig Schober
Karl-Ludwig Schober (born July 13, 1912 in Halle ; † October 11, 1999 ibid) was a German surgeon and professor at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . He developed the Halle heart-lung machine and was the most famous heart surgeon in the German Democratic Republic .
Life
As a soldier in Stalingrad in Soviet captivity, he returned to Halle in 1948, where he became professor of surgery in 1959 and head of the surgical university clinic seven years later.
Since 1960 Schober has worked with Rudolf Zuckermann , Rainer Panzner, Günter Baust and Fritz Struss on the development and construction of their own heart-lung machine (HLM). This resulted from the necessity that an HLM, which had been on sale in the USA since 1953, could not be purchased for financial reasons. (In contrast to the Leipzig Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery, which imported an HLM from the USA in 1962.) With the help of this Halle heart-lung machine , an open heart operation was successfully performed on April 3, 1962.
On this basis, cardiac surgery developed in the GDR in the years and decades that followed .
In 1969 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
Since 2003, the Karl Ludwig Schober Prize has been awarded to renowned age researchers every two years .
