Moritz Jellinek (doctor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moritz Jellinek (born July 7, 1829 in Neuraußnitz in Moravia ; † January 25, 1914 in Vienna - Speising ) was an Austrian physician and participant in the 1848/49 revolution and a supporter of the Hungarian struggle for freedom.

Jellinek was a doctor in Vienna who had interrupted his medical studies in the revolutionary year of 1848 "to assist the Hungarians in fighting the rebel Jellačić ", where he was seriously wounded. There does not seem to be a family relationship with Moritz Jellinek of the same name , a member of the important Jewish family of Adolf Jellinek , who also came from Moravia and who also took an active part in the revolution in Vienna.

The monarchist, who was enthusiastic but outraged by Metternich's despotism, began studying medicine at the University of Vienna in 1847.As a member of the security committee of the Academic Legion, he was a participant in the delegation that fled to Innsbruck in connection with the March Revolution August 1848, Emperor Ferdinand, who was returning, solemnly caught up with Vienna. In the same year of the revolution he followed the call to form a free corps to support the Hungarian struggle for freedom and joined the “first company” of the Vienna elite region, with whom he took part in the Transylvanian campaign as a lieutenant under General Józef Bem . At Ihazy near Pápa in Veszprém county , the man who was promoted to first lieutenant under György Kmety , a “sub-general” of General Artúr Görgei , lay on the battlefield for three days with his thigh shattered by Russian grape splinters before he was found. After the campaign he was denounced as a participant in the Hungarian revolution, but General Franz von Schlik , the commandant of Moravia and Silesia , put down the investigation.

1850 Jellinek was able to continue his medical studies, he in 1855 with the graduation to the Dr. med. et chir. completed. He then worked as a doctor in Vienna until he died after an apparently not particularly eventful life as one of the last surviving Hungarian legionaries from 1848 before the outbreak of the First World War .
