Konrad Johann Martin Langenbeck

Konrad Johann Martin Langenbeck (born December 5, 1776 in Horneburg , † January 24, 1851 in Göttingen ) was a German anatomist , surgeon and ophthalmologist , editor and author of relevant specialist books.

Life

Konrad Langenbeck (in some sources also Conrad) was the son of a Horneburgers pastor and at the same time the uncle of the surgeon Bernhard von Langenbeck . Konrad Langenbeck studied medicine with Ferdinand Loder at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena from 1794 to 1798 and was awarded a Dr. med. PhD . During his studies he became a member of the Order of Unitists , whose senior he was in 1796. After successful eye operations that Langenbeck performed in his doctor's practice in Horneburg, he received a scholarship from the Royal House of Hanover for further studies, first at the University of Vienna and then at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg with Carl Caspar von Siebold . In 1802 Langenbeck completed his habilitation with August Gottlieb Richter at the Georg-August University in Göttingen with the text About a simple and safe method of stone carving. In the same year he became a private lecturer and surgeon in the Göttingen Academic Hospital, which was headed by Karl Gustav Himly . Because of problems in working with Himly, Langenbeck had his own auditorium built in which he had been giving anatomical lectures since 1803. In 1804 he was appointed associate professor. In 1807 Langenbeck founded his own institute for surgery and ophthalmology , and in 1814 he was appointed full professor at the University of Göttingen and appointed surgeon general of the Hanoverian army . In 1823 he was elected a full member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . From 1828 to 1829 he was the builder of his own Theatrum Anatomicum. His teaching activities in Göttingen spanned almost half a century from 1802 to 1851. Bernhard von Langenbeck and Louis Stromeyer were among his students .

Langenbeck published the library for surgery and ophthalmology (4 volumes) in Göttingen from 1806 to 1813 and its new series (4 volumes) from 1815 to 1828.
