Ludwig Wilhelm Mauthner of Mauthstein
Ludwig Wilhelm Mauthner (Knight) von Mauthstein (born October 14, 1806 in Raab ; † April 8, 1858 in Vienna ) was a Hungarian- Austrian doctor and pediatrician .
Life
Mauthner studied medicine in Vienna from 1823, entered the medical-surgical Joseph Academy there as an apprentice in 1825 and received his doctorate in 1831. After completing his studies, Mauthner worked as a senior physician and assistant to Bischoff von Altenstern at the medical clinic of his training facility and was deployed during the severe cholera epidemic in Vienna and a typhus epidemic in Galicia . After Mauthner had finished his military service in 1836, promoted to regimental doctor, he concentrated on paediatrics and opened the first private children's hospital in German-speaking countries in 1837. From 1839 Mauthner was a private lecturer in paediatrics at the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna and from 1844 ran his house as a clinic. In 1848 he moved his institute from the suburb of Schottenfeld to the current location of the St. Anna Children's Hospital , where Mauthner also trained midwives and nannies ("guards") for healthy and sick children. After his institute had become an official teaching institute in 1850, Mauthner was appointed associate professor for paediatrics in Vienna in 1851 . Mauthner founded an association for the supervision of feeding children, from which the association for day nurseries emerged and was also a member of the Vienna Medical Forum . Mauthner also managed to establish two branch hospitals in Lower Austria and Upper Austria. The main work of the doctor, who was raised to the nobility in 1849, was "The disease of the brain and spinal cord in children".
Mauthner was buried in the Hietzinger Friedhof in Vienna in an honorary grave (group 6, number 17).
In 1888 the Mauthnergasse in Vienna- Alsergrund (9th district) was named after him.
He was the cousin of Gustav von Mauthner .
