Karl Friedrich Hundertmark

Karl Friedrich Hundertmark (also: Carl Friedrich Hundertmarck ; born April 11, 1715 in Zeitz ; † May 8, 1762 in Leipzig ) was a German medic.

Life

Karl Friedrich was born the son of the doctor Heinrich Elias Hundertmark (* mid-March 1664 in Lobenstein. † November 19/21, 1739 in Zeitz) and his wife Maria Magdalena (née Gebler). After he had received his first lessons from his father and private teachers, he continued his education at Zeitzer Gymnasium in 1728. At the age of eighteen he moved to the University of Leipzig , where he found a teacher in Johann Friedrich Menz (1673–1749) who not only gave him accommodation, but also made his extensive library available to him.

As was customary at the time, Hundertmark initially studied basic philosophical sciences. He attended lectures by Georg Friedrich Richter (1691–1742) in morals, Christian August Hausen (1693–1743), Christian Gottlieb Jöcher 's history and philosophy with August Friedrich Müller (1684–1761), and Friedrich Wilhelm Stübner ( 1710-1736). In 1736 he acquired the degree of baccalaureus in philosophy and in 1737 was a master's degree in philosophical sciences.

Soon afterwards he was accepted as a baccalaureus in the medical faculty, where he attended the lectures of Augustin Friedrich Walther (1688–1746), Johann Zacharias Platner (1694–1747) and Johann Ernst Hebenstreit (1703–1757). He was then with his father for a while, where he gained practical experience. After his death, Hundertmark went back to Leipzig, received his doctorate in medicine in 1740 and qualified as a private lecturer. To make his lectures clearer, he set up a chemical laboratory and earned a good reputation through his writings.

Having attracted attention in this way, he was appointed associate professor of medicine in 1748 and full professor of physiology, anatomy and surgery in 1754. He was since May 5, 1740 with the academic surname Hesperus II. Member (matriculation no. 499) of the Imperial Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina , member of the Royal Swedish Academy and the Academy of Sciences in Bologna . Hundertmark also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig University and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semester of 1759 .
