Life

Otto Kohlschütter was born in Dresden on June 24, 1807 as the son of Karl Christian Kohlschütter (1764-1837) and his wife Christiane Louise Kreysig.

Kohlschütter studied medicine in Leipzig and Heidelberg from 1828 . In 1833 he received his doctorate in Leipzig with the treatise Quaedam de funiculo umbilicali frequenti mortis nascentium causa: commentatio physiologico-obstetricia . He then practiced as a resident doctor in Dresden.

Journalism

Otto Kohlschütter translated two standard medical works into German, Arthur Hill Hassall's Microscopic Anatomy of the Human Body in Healthy and Diseased States and the Practical Manual on Diseases of the Female Sex by Samuel Ashwell (* 1798; † 1852?). The latter translation was completed by Edmund Friedrich after his death.

Furthermore, he is the editor of the newly edited opus posthumum by Friedrich Ludwig Kreysig , The diseases of the heart in general and at their first stage of development , which Kohlschütter, Kreysig's nephew, only put together from the manuscripts in painstaking detail after the death of Kreysig's widow.

Foundation of the Polyclinic Children's Hospital in Dresden

Together with Hermann Eberhard Friedrich Richter (1808–1876), Robert Küttner and Eduard Zeis , Kohlschütter founded an outpatient clinic at Seestrasse 71 in Dresden on September 1, 1834 , the first of its kind in Germany, as well as the Dresden Medical Association, the " the nucleus of medical professional organizations in Saxony ”. Forced by sickness, Kohlschütter resigned from the committee in 1846 and was replaced by Anton Pusinelli. The polyclinic with rented beds later became the children's hospital in Dresden.

After retiring from the children's hospital, Kohlschütter moved to a vineyard estate in the Hoflößnitz vineyard district (today part of Radebeul-Oberlößnitz ) at the gates of Dresden and got involved in the local association for healing and natural history in the construction of a small hospital financed by donations, especially for servants and the poor.

In 1850 he summed up the development of children's hospitals. There is also a transcript of his lecture on the subject of Is an unclouded state of health one of the requirements that one is entitled to make of the jury? The content of which is influenced not only by his experience as a practicing doctor, but also by his own poor health. Otto Kohlschütter died on January 18, 1853 at the age of 45.

His marriage to Henriette Heydenreich had eight children. His son Ernst Kohlschütter became known for his contributions to sleep research and his commitment, for his work in local politics and for his concern for the poor; Kohlschütterstrasse in Halle (Saale) is named after him.
