Karl Bürker (born August 10, 1872 in Zweibrücken , † June 15, 1957 in Tübingen ) was a German physiologist and medical historian. His scientific focus was the thermodynamics of the muscle and the physiology of the blood.

Life

Bürker studied at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . In 1893 he became active in the Corps Franconia Tübingen . He was promoted to Dr. sc. nat. and in 1900 Dr. med. PhD . In 1901 he completed his habilitation in physiology . In 1904 he became an associate professor under Paul Grützner .

In 1917 he followed the call of the Hessian Ludwig University to its chair for physiology at the medical faculty, where he also trained the students of veterinary medicine. He was dean of his faculty twice . For the academic year 1925/26 he was elected Rector of Ludwig University. 1937 Emeritus , he taught until 1940 Physiology and was thereafter until 1944, lecturer on the history of medicine and for new German medicine . Then he returned to Tübingen. After his retirement, Bürker's teaching area was divided: the previous Physiological Institute of the Medical Faculty was called the Institute for Physiological Chemistry and the Veterinary Medical Faculty received a new Veterinary-Physiological Institute (from 1938 onwards Prof. Paul Luy).

With Paul Linser , he rebuilt the corps and the Tübingen Senior Citizens' Convention after the war . As an 80-year-old, he decidedly committed to being a student in the corps .

“It would be better to abolish the general egalitarianism in the state and to differentiate more; for the differences are the animating element in animate nature. ... We are envious of the lengths, but the rough boxing is allowed. Where is the much-vaunted freedom of the individual? We must show that we consider the knightly game of arms to be necessary for the upbringing of the young man. Self-education is the most essential thing in the corporation. "

One of his two sons was Colonel i. G. and later government director in Saarbrücken. The other - also Franke from Tübingen - was a surgeon in a naval hospital of the Navy . He reported to the submarines and fell.
