Leopold Löwenfeld
Leopold Löwenfeld also Leopold Loewenfeld (born January 23, 1847 in Munich , † December 20, 1923 ) was a German medic. He is considered a pioneer in sexual pathology .
Life
He graduated from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich in 1865 . He completed his medical studies in Munich in 1870 with a doctorate . As a young assistant doctor he took part in the Franco-Prussian War . After the war he established himself as a general practitioner in Binswangen for a short time . From 1872 to 1876 Loewenfeld practiced as a neurologist in Chicago. In 1876 he returned to Munich, where he settled as a doctor for nervous diseases and electrotherapy. In 1881 he submitted the work "Actiology and Pathology of Spontaneous Cerebral Haemorrhages" in order to obtain a private lectureship at the Munich medical faculty . His wish to be able to work as a lecturer and in medical research did not come true, as he was not admitted to the lectureship - presumably due to his Jewish faith . In the following years, Loewenfeld wrote numerous larger and smaller papers, especially in his specialty of nervous diseases.
