Maximilian Stoll

Maximilian Stoll (born October 12, 1742 in Erzingen , Baden-Württemberg , †  May 23, 1787 in Vienna ) was a German-Austrian doctor and university professor.

Life

Stoll came from a humble background and, supported by a scholarship , studied theology at a seminary . There his interest in medicine was recognized and Stoll moved to the medical faculty.

After successfully completing his doctorate , Stoll accepted a position at the University of Vienna in 1776 , where he was entrusted with the management of the Vienna Clinic the following year as Anton de Haen's successor . Stoll worked there a. a. very successfully together with Leopold von Auenbrugger and Anton Störck .

During these years, Prince Wenzel appointed Anton Kaunitz Stoll as his personal physician, and a little later he took over the same position with Baron Gideon Ernst von Laudon .

Stoll worked in teaching and research and presented his multi-volume Ratio medendi as his magnum opus . In it he propagated an exact and constantly updated medical history of the patient. B. to infer current problems from previous malaises. With this, Stoll stood against the skull theory of Franz Joseph Galls with his doctrine .

Among many others, Josef von Škoda and Carl von Rokitansky were his students, who congenially expanded and continued Stoll's theories. In Vienna he belonged to several Masonic lodges ( To the holy Joseph , To the true harmony , To the truth ).

The doctor Maximilian Stoll died on May 23, 1787 in Vienna at the age of almost 45. In 1896 the Stollgasse in Vienna- Neubau (7th district) was named after him.
