Live and act

Pansa was born in Schleusingen in Thuringia in 1580 . His parents belonged to the upper middle class. After completing school in the Latin School in Leipzig , Pansa studied the arts at the University of Leipzig and obtained his bachelor's degree in 1603 and his master's artium in 1605 . In the same year he obtained his medical licentiate and received his doctorate in 1606 in Basel with Felix Platter and Caspar Bauhin in medicine and philosophy. In 1607 he took the position of city doctor in Annaberg , where he dealt with the health problems of the miners. After seven years of activity, he moved to Liegnitz , where he fought a typhus epidemic . Through further positions in Stroppen and Trebnitz he finally came to Breslau in 1620, where he was appointed city doctor by a council decision. From then on he operated under the self-chosen title of Medicus Silesiacus , the doctor of Silesia. Pansa probably died in 1626 as a result of a plague epidemic.
