Michael Engelhardt (medical doctor)
Michael Engelhardt (* after 1601 in Korbach ; † after 1684 ) was court physician and personal physician at the court of Kassel and landgrave librarian.
Life
Engelhardt is the grandson of Korbach's mayor and Köthen superintendent Justus Engelhardt .
Engelhardt studies medicine and also practices this profession at the court of Landgrave Johann von Hessen-Braubach . Together with him and Count Philipp VII von Waldeck-Wildungen , Engelhardt was accepted into the Fruitful Society in 1639 .
He probably married Elisabeth Wetzel two years later, in 1641.
In the years from 1650 Engelhardt can be found as court doctor and personal physician at the court of Kassel. There he officiates as a landgrave librarian and as such he is awarded the honorary title Bergrat.
The Fruit- Bringing Society knows him by his company name The Soothing . As a motto, what hurts in the body was intended for him. This is recorded in the Koethener society book under the number 335. There you can also find Engelhardt's emblem the full poppy ( opium poppy , papaver somniferum L. ) Engelhardt thanks for the admission with the following rhyme law:
- The melts probably soften the full poppy seed
- From this gentle power I received my welcome,
- Vnd lush hot drumb; the water smelt in the body
- I 'vnd drive away' through the full of poppy seeds.
- In meek courage it is best to proceed
- Avoid much harm, steer and defend against it,
- Man, beautiful, gentle fruit should always work
- It would be advisable to use them.
According to today's research, Michael Engelhardt died shortly after 1684; probably in Kassel.
