Life

Paul Friedrich Scheel's parents were the doctor Ludwig Scheel (1849–1913) and his wife Sophie Scheel b. Schleker (1853-1934). His sister Margarete Scheel was a sculptor.

Paul Friedrich Scheel attended high school in Rostock and graduated in 1901 with the Abitur. He then served as a one-year volunteer until 1902 in the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg Fusilier Regiment No. 90 in Rostock, at the same time he studied art history at the University of Rostock . He then began to study medicine at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . In 1903 he became active in the Corps Franconia Tübingen . He returned to Rostock as inactive . In 1908 he passed the medical state examination. From 1908 to 1909 he completed a practical year in Rostock and Heidelberg before working as an assistant doctor at the Rostock University Surgical Clinic from 1909 to 1913. During this time, Paul Friedrich Scheel completed his specialist training in surgery. In 1910 he was promoted to Dr. med. PhD.

In 1913 Paul Friedrich Scheel moved as a trainee doctor to the Orthopedic University Clinic in Vienna and as an assistant doctor from 1913 to 1914 at the Orthopedic University Clinic in Munich. The second specialist training in orthopedics followed here. In 1914 Scheel worked briefly as an assistant doctor in the Oskar-Helene-Heim in Berlin-Dahlem , before he worked as a surgeon and department doctor, most recently as a medical officer, during the First World War from 1914 to 1919.

After the end of the war, Paul Friedrich Scheel worked as a senior doctor in the orthopedic procurement department of the Rostock pension office until 1923. At the same time he was a senior doctor in the Mecklenburgische Landeskrüppelanstalt Elisabethheim Rostock , where in 1925 he set up an orthopedic clinic. During his time as a senior physician, he managed to ensure that funds were made available in 1928 to implement the “new creation of a contemporary sanatorium for orthopedic treatment” and the “school and vocational training for the physically handicapped with the participation of the Mecklenburg government” . According to Scheel, such measures were urgently required in order to " bring cripple children ... into an environment better adapted to their circumstances for the purpose of education and better care."

His habilitation took place in 1938 at the University of Rostock with the title Contributions to the pathology of the intervertebral disc . From 1939 to 1940 Scheel served in the Wehrmacht in the Rostock hospital.

Despite his membership in the NSDAP , Scheel was dismissed in 1942 as the chief doctor of the Elisabethheim. The reason for this was his precautionary evacuation of the home during a bombing raid on Rostock without waiting for the approval of the chairman and the fact that Scheel would be “friendly to Jews”. The accusation was that he had protected his Jewish assistant doctor and representative in the Elisabethheim and, as chairman of the Rostock section of the Alpine Club, was against the exclusion of Jews. The dispute between the chairman of the Elisabethheim Dau and Scheel was decided in favor of Paul Friedrich Scheel before the Gaugericht.

In 1945 he was briefly medical officer and consultant orthopedic surgeon of the military district II Rostock. During the war years from 1939 to 1945 he was a lecturer in orthopedics at the University of Rostock and practiced as a resident specialist in orthopedics in Rostock in 1942 and 1943. The discharge from the Mecklenburgische Landeskrüppelanstalt Elisabethheim was lifted in 1943 and so Paul Friedrich Scheel worked again as a senior doctor until 1946.

From 1946 Scheel was at the Orthopedic University Clinic Rostock. In 1948 he became a senior physician. Since 1950 he has been a lecturer and since 1951 professor with a teaching assignment for orthopedics, from 1954 professor with a chair in orthopedics. In 1949 he was appointed acting clinic director; He took over the management of the clinic in 1950 until his retirement in 1957.

One son was the Romance philologist and literary scholar Hans Ludwig Scheel (1918-2007).
