Marcus Banzer
Marcus Banzer (also: Bancer, Banzerus ; * December 28, 1592 in Augsburg ; † May 4, 1664 in Wittenberg ) was a German medic.
Life
Banzer studied at the University of Altdorf and the University of Strasbourg . He then went to foreign universities such as the University of Montpellier , the University of Padua and the University of Basel , where he received his doctorate in medicine in 1616 . He settled in his hometown, where he experienced challenges due to his Lutheran confession and therefore moved to the home of Lutheranism in Electoral Saxony . There he practiced first in 1629 in Oschatz and 1630 in Kamenz . After he was appointed professor of medicine at the University of Wittenberg by the Elector of Saxony , he took up the second medical professorship of Johann Georg Pelshofer on March 12, 1638 .
In the following year he rose to senior position in the faculty and administered the rectorate of the academy in the winter semesters of 1639, 1643, 1647, 1653 and 1659 . His treatise “Fabrica receptarum” in particular attracted attention in his time. Marcus Banzer was the first man in ear medicine to deal with artificial eardrums in 1640. In his diaputatio de auditione laeaa (Wittenberg 1640), he recommended a tube made of misery claws , which is covered at one end with a pig's bladder .
Marcus Banzer's first marriage was in 1619 with Anna Maria (* 1600 in Augsburg; † September 9, 1646 in Wittenberg), daughter of the Augsburg merchant Andreas Bassee and his wife Anna Maria (née Dürr). The twenty-seven year marriage remained childless. Banzer had married again on September 21, 1647 with the third wife Sybilla (née Richter) of Lucas Cranach III (1586-1645).
