Ludwig von Manger-Koenig

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig von Manger-Koenig (born September 10, 1919 in Koblenz , † June 2, 1983 in Bad Honnef - Rhöndorf ) was a German social hygienist and politician .

Live and act

The son of the public prosecutor Fritz Koenig (by marriage: von Manger-Koenig) attended high school in his hometown Koblenz and in Hagen. After passing his Abitur in 1937, he did Reich labor and military service . From 1940 to 1947 he studied - interrupted by a war effort - human medicine at the universities of Marburg , Bonn and Münster . He passed the state examination in 1947 and received his doctorate the following year in Marburg with a dissertation on medical confidentiality . In 1946 he began parallel studies of law in Marburg, since he actually wanted to become a forensic doctor, and finished this in 1949.

From 1947 to 1950 he was - in Marburg - first a year as a compulsory assistant at the surgical university clinic , then for two years as a trainee doctor at the university women's clinic and finally an assistant doctor at the district health department . By moving to the Hessian Ministry of the Interior in Wiesbaden, he entered the political sector. From 1950 to 1955 he was a consultant for hospital affairs and the “general health care organizations”. During this time, in 1951, he joined the SPD . In 1955, he was promoted to head of the public health department of the Hessian Ministry of the Interior and Social Affairs. Two years later, he taught "Medical Law and Professional Studies" at the University of Marburg.

In 1963 he accepted a full professorship at the University of Frankfurt am Main for social hygiene and public health and therefore left his post in the ministry.

When he was appointed to the same department at the Free University of Berlin in 1964 , Hessen was no longer the center of his career. At the end of his time in Berlin as a professor and at the same time medical director of the clinical center of the FU (at that time still in the Westend ), a new position awaited him from January 5, 1967, as permanent state secretary under Federal Minister of Health Käte Strobel in Bonn. Under the new minister Katharina Focke , who took office on December 15, 1972, Manger-Koenig was "deported" in March 1973, according to Spiegel . At the same time, the magazine criticized the fact that he, who has now been working as an expert on the Executive Council of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva on behalf of the ministry for four years , could continue to receive his previous high salary with his previous place of work through a (ten-year) special advisory contract .

Ludwig von Manger-Koenig was the older brother of the humorist Jürgen von Manger . He was married since 1956. In 1957 the couple had a daughter and in 1960 a son. Manger-Koenig died at the age of 63 in his last place of residence, Bad Honnef-Rhöndorf.
