Live and act

Gdanietz was born on January 24, 1928 in Danzig, lived in Preußisch Stargard , in the Polish Corridor in the province of West Prussia , where he grew up bilingually - German and Polish - and attended the German private school. In June 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II , the family moved to Berlin . There he attended high school. In 1944 he was obliged to build the "Ostwall" and saw the end of the war in Berlin. He attended secondary school again and in 1947 he passed the Abitur. On the grounds that those who had returned from the field would primarily be admitted to study, he did not begin his medical studies until 1950 at the Humboldt University in Berlin . In the meantime he completed his masonry trade as a journeyman, was involved in the construction of housing in what was then Berlin's Stalinallee, now Frankfurter Allee , and at the Russian Embassy on Unter den Linden. After studying medicine in 1955 and receiving his doctorate in 1957, with an animal experiment at the Endocrinological Institute of the Charité Berlin , he went through specialist training at the State Hospital Lübben , where he acquired knowledge in general surgery , gynecology / obstetrics , urology , trauma surgery and in 1957 in the surgical University Clinic Jena in anesthesia . He became a specialist in surgery in 1961 and senior physician in 1962.

On March 12, 1962, he began training in pediatric surgery with Ilse Krause at the Hufeland Hospital in Berlin-Buch, which later became the Berlin-Buch Municipal Hospital. He became a specialist in pediatric surgery, senior physician, and from 1980, as the successor to Ilse Krause, director of the clinic.

From 1963 to 1968 he had a teaching position for the subject "Practical Surgery" at the Medical Faculty of the Charité Berlin, completed his habilitation on January 24, 1973, received the Facultas Docendi in 1976 and was the first appointed pediatric surgeon as an honorary lecturer with effect from February 1, 1977 at the Humboldt University in Berlin . He did not accept the move to Ernst Moritz Arndt University Greifswald and the Charité that was proposed in 1978 . In 1984 he was appointed honorary professor at the Academy for Medical Training in the GDR .

In 1971 he became the first chairman of the working group on urinary tract surgery in childhood, co-founder of the consultation meeting in 1972, treasurer of the Berlin Surgical Society from 1981 to 1986 , and chairman of the children's surgery section from 1983 to 1985. In 1985 he negotiated with the board of the Society for Surgery of the GDR to found a Society for Pediatric Surgery, of which he was first chairman from 1987 to 1990. Since 1987 he has been chairman of the Central Expert Commission at the Central Office for Medical Assessment.

In addition to abdominal , trauma, thoracic and pediatric urology , he was particularly concerned with the prevention and treatment of subglottic stenoses . He was innovative, digging up forgotten things or breaking new ground (intestinal reversal plastic, "sewn in" tracheostoma , gluing the esophagotracheal fistulas).

Five months after the fall of the Wall , an ordinary meeting of the presidium of the German Society for Pediatric Surgery took place in Berlin on April 18, 1990 , at which Gdanietz applied for the members of the Society for Pediatric Surgery of the GDR to be transferred to the German Society for Pediatric Surgery. The union then took place on November 17, 1990. Gdanietz, who was an uninterrupted member of the German Society for Pediatric Surgery from 1965, became a member of the Presidium and head of the Academy for Pediatric Surgery.

He was a member of the Central Examination Commission for Pediatric Surgery at the Academy for Medical Training in the GDR and examiner in pediatric surgery at the Berlin Medical Association. Around 130 publications bear his name, often in the first place, he gave over 250 lectures at home and abroad, in Poland always in Polish, wrote book chapters, wrote a paper on the development of pediatric surgery in the GDR and was the supervisor of twelve graduate students, 33 doctoral students, two post-doctoral students.
