Karl Ludwig Klose
Karl Ludwig Klose (born August 21, 1791 in Breslau , † September 23, 1863 in Dresden ) was a German physician and historian.
Life
The son of the Breslau merchant Samuel Wilhelm Klose († September 20, 1793) and his wife Christine Friderika Roppan († November 30, 1803) were raised by his uncle, the merchant Karl Ehrenfried Ropphan, after the early death of his parents. In 1800 he sent him to the Elisabethinum grammar school in Breslau. In 1809 he moved to the University of Königsberg , where he began to study medical sciences and on March 12, 1812 received his doctorate in medicine with the dissertation […] exhibens historiam Mesmerismi criticam . He then went to the University of Vienna to continue his studies. In 1813/14 he took part in the wars of liberation against Napoleon as a senior physician in a field hospital .
In November 1814 Klose returned to Breslau, where he worked as a general practitioner. In 1816 he completed his habilitation at the University of Breslau with a treatise on the human skull, under the title Syntagma semioticum exhibens partem prosoposcopiae generalem, cephaloscopiae quondam edendae prodromum (Breslau 1816). There Klose became an associate professor in the medical sciences in 1818 and a full professor in the aforementioned subject in 1829. 1833 received a call as a professor of medicine and an appointment to the government and medical council at the University of Königsberg. Here he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semester of 1837/38 .
Since his wife couldn't stand the climate in Königsberg, he went to various spas with her. However, this did not help; she died on June 26, 1839 in Salzbrunn, without leaving any children. Therefore, he resigned his office in Königsberg and returned to his hometown, where he made his living as a doctor and honorary professor. At that time, a large number of literary works of a medical nature were created. Together with Optatus Wilhelm Leopold Richter, he edited a journal for criminal justice and a collection of memorable criminal cases , and he also published a large number of specialist articles in the journals of his time. His medical work at that time did not follow a uniform system, rather he attached more importance to the perception of differences in the clinical pictures.
From 1840 onwards, Klose was primarily concerned with history. In addition to some articles for the General Encyclopedia of Sciences and Arts , he mainly dealt with biographical works on Charles Edward Stuart , Karl August von Hardenberg , Pascal Paoli , Hugo Grotius and Wilhelm the silent of Orange . He worked on the latter until the end of his life, which work he had initially started in Hamburg and continued in Dresden. After his death, his former friend Heinrich Wuttke brought the manuscript, which had already largely been completed, to print.
