from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Grosser, around 1930

Paul Grosser (born February 4, 1880 in Berlin , † February 7, 1934 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye ) was a German pediatrician. He completed his habilitation in 1919 as the first pediatrician at Frankfurt University. Expelled by the National Socialists in 1933, he died shortly after the start of his exile, three days after turning 54. He is the father of the political scientist and publicist Alfred Grosser .

Life

Paul Grosser was born in Berlin as the son of Eugen Grosser, a publisher from Upper Silesia, and his wife Cécilie, née Blum, from Strasbourg . There was no deep bond with Judaism within the family. He completed his school days at the Askanisches Gymnasium on September 17, 1898 with the final examination. He then began studying medicine in Berlin , Freiburg and Munich .

Grosser received his license to practice medicine on August 13, 1903 in Munich . His dissertation on the subject of the connection between pulmonary tuberculosis and trauma, which he submitted to the University of Leipzig , was dated December 19, 1903.

education

An assistant doctor position is said to have existed in Erlangen, due to the relative proximity to Munich possibly immediately after his license to practice medicine, but there is no concrete evidence.

From 1904 to 1905 he assisted in the physico-chemical department of the first German pathological institute at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin, which was significantly influenced by Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), under Johannes Orth (1847-1923) and Ernst Leopold Salkowski (1844 -1923).

From 1905 to 1907 he was an assistant in the internal department of the Am Urban City Hospital in Berlin with Albert Plehn (1861-1935), shortly before Alfred Döblin also became an assistant doctor there.

Grosser took on another assistant position from 1907 to 1908 at the municipal orphanage in Alte Jacobstrasse 33–35 in Berlin-Kreuzberg with Heinrich Finkelstein (1865–1942).

Then he assisted still at the University Children's Clinic of the Berlin Charité at Otto Heubner (1843-1926) and was settled briefly in Berlin before moving to Frankfurt.

Establishment and First World War

From 1908 to 1911 Grosser filled the position of senior physician at the children's clinic of the municipal hospital, the forerunner of the Frankfurt University Children's Clinic , under its director Heinrich von Mettenheim († 1944) in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen . His scientific focus was on the metabolism in the growth phase, calcium metabolism, infant and child care and social pediatrics. In 1908 Grosser also set up his own practice in Frankfurt. During the First World War , the patriotic great fought consistently as a medical officer on the war front.

Habilitation

1921–1929: Senior doctor of the municipal children's home with infant care school in Böttgerstrasse 20–22, Frankfurt am Main
from 1923: Associate professor for paediatrics at the University of Frankfurt
1929/30: Lily , Margarethe, Alfred and Paul Grosser strolling through Neue Mainzer Straße in Frankfurt am Main
1930–1933: Medical director of the Clementine Children's Hospital in Bornheimer Landwehr 110 in Frankfurt am Main

Returned after the end of the war, he settled down again as a pediatrician with his own practice in Frankfurt am Main in 1919 and completed his habilitation on July 26, 1919 as the first pediatrician at Frankfurt University.

On March 16, 1921, Paul Grosser married Lily Emilie Rosenthal, who came from a Frankfurt family (born June 2, 1894 in Frankfurt am Main, † September 20, 1968 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye), also of Jewish origin. Karl Josephtal, residing at Bockenheimer Landstrasse 126, and Rudolf Oppenheimer , residing at Bockenheimer Anlage 8, both in Frankfurt am Main , acted as witnesses . Karl Josephtal is a private citizen, according to the registry office entry made in 1921, and formerly a member of the board of the Frankfurt pension fund for Israelites founded in 1845.

From 1921 to 1929, Gross became the head doctor of the municipal children's home with an infant care school in Böttgerstrasse 20-22 in Frankfurt's Jewish district of Ostend - known in the city as "Böttgerheim". Grosser's assistant doctor was Anna Ettlinger (born May 28, 1894 in Karlsruhe), who settled in Frankfurt am Main as a general practitioner in October 1924. Their new family name was Sondheimer after they later married, after they emigrated to the USA in 1937 and married Sondheimer-Friedmann again. Grosser kept his private practice.

The children's clinic in Böttgerstrasse was founded by Auguste and Fritz Gans , the "Kinderheim Foundation", but was taken over by the city in 1920 after the foundation's financial difficulties as a result of the First World War. The tenement house acquired by the Foundation in 1909 in the adjacent Hallgartenstrasse as a nurses' home had a back yard with a garden in which the isolation ward of the children's clinic was set up. The establishment or staffing of Grosser's pediatric doctor was probably made possible by a foundation by the doctor Arnold Baerwald, who died in 1920. From 1915 until his death, he was head of the gynecological department of the Israelite Hospital at Gagernstrasse 36.

On April 13, 1922, his wife Lily Emilie gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Margarethe, in Frankfurt am Main.

On July 25, 1923, Paul Grosser received the extraordinary professorship for paediatrics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main .

On February 1, 1925, the couple's second child, son Alfred, was born in Frankfurt am Main.

From 1930 to May 1933, Grosser took over the medical management of the Clementine Children's Hospital in Frankfurt am Main, a creative phase that, in retrospect, is referred to as the heyday of the Clementine Children's Hospital because of the major expansion he carried out into a modern children's hospital.

The Nazis' boycott of Jews began on April 1, 1933 , uniformed members of the SA posted corresponding signs in front of the Clementine Children's Hospital in Frankfurt's Bornheim district and in front of Paul Grosser's private practice in Mendelssohnstrasse 92 in Frankfurt's upper-class Westend district .

In the same month, the exclusion was made of Jewish doctors from the private liquidation, on 29 April 1933, the Faculty of Medicine spoke through their existing as moderate dean Franz Volhard , as Paul Grosser Freemasons from a ban on teaching, "given the current attitude of the students .. . ". In the summer of 1933, Paul Grosser was dismissed as director of the clinic, which was a very hard turn for him in a beloved job.

His eight-year-old son Alfred was beaten so violently by “Aryan” classmates within the Wöhlerschule in Lessingstrasse that hospital treatment was necessary.

Finally, Grosser was also excluded from the ranks of his former comrades in the war, the bearers of the Iron Cross 1st class. While many other Jewish doctors left the German Reich for the USA from 1933 to 1945 , his own considerations soon focused on emigrating to neighboring France, as he mastered French as opposed to English.

“My father took part in the war in 1914/18 as a medical officer at the front. For four years. And suddenly he was no longer supposed to be German, but only - if I may say so - a Jew. That was the decisive factor in emigration. "

- Alfred Grosser

The summer vacation with his family led to Paris and Champagne, an exploration. On October 25, 1933, Grosser resigned from the German Society for Paediatrics (DGfK) on the grounds: "As I am emigrating from Germany as a non-Aryan, I am leaving the society."

emigration

On December 16, 1933, Paul Grosser and his family emigrated to France by rail via Switzerland.

Therese Heck, a non-Jewish consultation assistant and X-ray assistant, dissolved Grosser's private apartment and practice in Frankfurt am Main at Mendelssohnstrasse 92 and followed into exile in January 1934.

Paul Grosser planned the construction of a children's sanatorium in Saint-Germain-en-Laye . He had already made all the preparations for this, bought a suitable house with a park-like garden and found willing people in charge in the French couple Hubert and Suzanne Canale. Since Grosser's German license to practice medicine was not recognized in France, he would have had to reacquire the requirements for the French equivalent there, in the fifth decade of life, despite his language skills, it was a seemingly (too) tedious undertaking.

Paul Grosser suffered a heart attack on February 7, 1934 while he was still getting used to his new environment, just seven weeks after he had emigrated , from which he died at the age of 54.

On February 7th, the well-known Frankfurt pediatrician Prof. Dr. med. Paul Grosser. He was born in Berlin in 1880. In Frankfurt, many years before the war, he developed a beneficial activity as a senior physician at what would later become the University Children's Clinic. In 1919 he became a private lecturer at the Frankfurt University. He had previously been a combatant in the field for the entire duration of the World War and acquired the EKI. In the following years he was one of the most successful pediatricians in Frankfurt. Its scientific importance is based essentially on his work on calcium metabolism in childhood. His organizational skills were great, and his human qualities gave him unusual confidence among doctors and the rest of the city's population. "

- Frankfurter Zeitung , February 9, 1934

After the untimely and unexpected death of her husband, his wife Lily continued to run the house as a pure children's home without the originally planned medical context. On October 1, 1937, she and her two children received French citizenship .

In 1940 their children Margarethe (18) and Alfred (15) fled by bike to unoccupied France after the Wehrmacht invaded . Daughter Margarethe suffered sepsis as a result of an injury during the flight , from which she died on April 29, 1941 at the age of nineteen.

Therese Heck's office assistant came to the French internment camps of Les Mesnuls ( Yvelines , Île-de-France ) and Gurs as “undesirable” or “hostile” Germans .

On September 21, 1942, Paul Grosser's sister Ida Landsberger (born October 1, 1881) and his brother-in-law Kurt (born July 15, 1878), also a doctor, were deported from Berlin to the Theresienstadt concentration camp . From there they were taken to Auschwitz on October 28, 1944 and murdered.

His widow Lily and his son Alfred survived the Shoah in separate hiding places. From 1948, Lily Grosser became secretary of the Comité français d'échanges avec l'Allemagne nouvelle , son Alfred, as a political scientist and professor at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris (IEP), also actively advocated reconciliation with Germany.
