Karl Maximilian Andree

Karl Maximilian Andree, also: Carl Maximilian Andrée, (born July 4, 1781 in Dresden , † November 1, 1827 in Breslau ) was a German physician and gynecologist.

Life

The youngest son of the royal Saxon court physician Carl August Andrée had worked at the Charité in Dresden, the later Surgical Academy, since 1799, before he moved to the University of Leipzig on May 5, 1801 to study medicine. Here he received the medical baccalaureate on November 3, 1802 and on February 28, 1805 with the dissertation “phys. Orinem, quores physiologicae de cute humana externa comprehendantur, sistens “ the philosophical master's degree .

On December 5, 1805, he obtained his licentiate in medicine, then went to the St. Jacobs Hospital as a secondary physician and as an assistant professor at the associated hospital at Leipzig University, which was under the direction of Hebestreit. On a scientific journey through southern Germany, Holland and France, he stayed in Paris for a long time . After he returned to Leipzig, he received his doctorate in medicine in 1809 and published the experiences of his trip in two volumes under the title The latest state of the excellent hospitals and poor institutions in some of the main towns at home and abroad . The first volume appeared in Leipzig in 1810 under the title The Hospitals and Institutions of Paris and the second volume also in Leipzig in 1811 under the title The Hospitals and Institutions of Switzerland, France, Holland and Germany .

The works were very well received, so that after a stay in Vienna with Johann Lukas Boër , on January 8, 1812, he succeeded Karl Heinrich Dzondi as associate professor for obstetrics at the University of Wittenberg and, associated with this, became director of the midwifery school and obstetric institute . Here he wrote his article in the Leipzig literary newspaper from 1812 under the title Note on the former insane asylums in Torgau and Waldheim . But the events of the time no longer gave Andree great opportunities to develop in the chair.

As a result of the Wars of Liberation , Wittenberg was caught in the crossfire of military conflicts in 1813. Since large parts of the city were destroyed, including the Wittenberg maternity clinic, most of the academic staff fled. Andree went back to Leipzig in 1813 and from there accepted a position as professor of obstetrics and director of the birthing center and midwifery institute at the University of Breslau . After serving there for 13 years, he became a medical councilor and member of the medical college.
