Live and act

Otto Butzengeiger was born as the son of Matthias and Emma Butzengeiger and brother of Karl Butzengeiger . He attended elementary school in his hometown. He passed his Abitur in 1904 at the St. Anna high school in Augsburg . After studying medicine at the University of Erlangen , he obtained his license to practice medicine in November 1909 . In the following month he submitted his dissertation on the genesis of jaw cysts .
He got his first job as an assistant to Franz Penzoldt at the University Clinic Erlangen , moved to the State Hospital Paderborn in 1911 and to the Surgical University Clinic Vienna in 1912 under the direction of Anton von Eiselsberg .
In the following year, Butzengeiger came to Elberfeld , where he initially worked in the surgical department of the municipal hospital until 1915. In December 1917 he became chief physician at the St. Marienheim Hospital in Elberfeld.

Between 1909 and 1951 he published medical articles, v. a. on surgical, anesthesiological and gynecological topics. He turned the first German doctor Avertin (Tribromäthylalkohol) for rectal anesthesia at ( Butzengeiger'sches intestinal tube ).

There was a pause in publications during the National Socialist era . Reasons for this reluctance are not known - one possible explanation is the use of the St. Marienheim Wuppertal as a military hospital during World War II . Butzengeiger died on June 11, 1968.
