Life

Friedrich Ludwig Krahmer was born in the small town of Hunnesrück in 1810. In those years, namely until 1827, Wilhelm David Friedrich (Fritz) Heinrich Krahmer (1776–1844) was the tenant there and in Egeln . Ludwig studied medicine at the University of Halle , where he received his doctorate in medicine in 1833 . In the following time he was a doctor at the University Hospital in Halle. In 1838 his habilitation in pharmacology and forensic medicine finally took place. In 1845 the university hired him as an associate professor . Finally he was promoted to full professor in 1852. Since 1837 he was a member of the Halle Masonic lodge Zu den three Degen .

Since 1859, Krahmer also acted as city ​​physician . He was a hospital doctor in the campaigns of 1866 and during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/1871, for which he was awarded the war memorial .

Krahmer also dealt with statistical information, about which he published some works. He was reluctant but loyal to state jobs, for which the Prussian Ministry of Culture rewarded him. In addition, he held the position of dean of the medical faculty at the University of Halle several times . In 1883 he was also awarded the Second Class Order of the Crown . In the faculty, on the other hand, he enjoyed a less high reputation because he did not sufficiently represent the interests of the university when it came to building a new university clinic. In 1888 he applied to no longer have to hold the office of dean, which was permitted. The other faculty members are said to have welcomed his departure so fiercely that “the conclusion seems possible that Krahmer was“ disempowered ”after internal quarrels”.

Krahmer died on December 20, 1895 in Halle.
