Kurt Moser (doctor)

Kurt Erich Moser (born July 21, 1895 in Wiburg , Grand Duchy of Finland ; † June 25, 1982 in Stralsund ) was a German neurologist and psychiatrist who worked as a university professor and hospital doctor.

After attending school in Greifswald , Moser began studying dentistry at the University of Königsberg , but in 1914 he switched to studying human medicine at the University of Greifswald . During the First World War he served in the military from 1915 to 1919, most recently as a field doctor.

After passing the state examination in 1920, he went to the psychiatric clinic at the University of Königsberg, headed by Ernst Meyer . In 1921 the doctorate followed, in 1926 the appointment as senior physician and in 1928 the habilitation. When Ernst Meyer died in 1931, Moser was appointed to act as a substitute for the chair until 1932. In 1934 he was appointed associate professor . In 1936 he retired from the university, but stayed in Königsberg and opened a private practice. During this time he was a part-time job among other things from 1934 to 1945 youth psychiatrist of the East Prussia Province . From 1936 to 1939 he was listed as an NSDAP party candidate, but this did not lead to party membership. During the Second World War he served as a medical officer in 1939/1940.

Towards the end of the Second World War he fled Königsberg with his family in February 1945 and first went back to Greifswald, then to Stralsund in 1946 . Here he worked as a neurologist, from 1957 as chief physician of the neurological department of the Stralsund district hospital, from 1961 as deputy medical director of the district hospital. Again he did not become a party member.

Kurt Moser was married. The marriage resulted in three sons, including Jürgen Moser (* 1928; † 1999), who became a mathematician and university professor.
