Live and act

Guder was born in Modritz, a village near Neusalz on the Oder, then Lower Silesia, in what is now Poland . His father was the local village school teacher Christian Gottfried Guder, who also taught him at first. After attending the city school in Neusalz a. O. and further one and a half years of private school lessons with a Mr. von Crousaz, Guder became a pupil and a student of the pedagogy in the garrison and district town of Züllichau . There he passed the school leaving certificate on April 6, 1876. After studying medicine for a year in Tübingen , he continued his studies at the University of Berlin and graduated on August 10, 1880. He presented his dissertation Experiments on the effect of quinine, in particular on the healthy human auditory organ , on November 6, 1880 at the University of Berlin.

After studying medicine, Guder was a trainee doctor in the Alt-Scherbitz state hospital in Schkeuditz near Leipzig under Albrecht Paetz from 1881 , after which he received a position as an assistant doctor at the Jena University Psychiatric Clinic . From 1886 he was a doctor at the Provincial Insane Asylum Ueckermünde under Friedrich Siemens. On July 22, 1886, he married Helene Stecher. In 1888 Guder moved from Ueckermünde to Laasphe, where he opened a practice. In 1889 he was appointed district physicist of the Wittgenstein district . In this role, in addition to his medical work, he has made a special contribution to improving the sanitary conditions in the district by promoting the installation of water pipes and sewer systems. Guder was the founder and chairman of the Wittgenstein District Medical Association and an honorary member of the Marburg Medical Association. During the First World War he managed a large club hospital, which was housed in the gym of the Laaspher preparatory facility and was supported by the Wittgenstein doctors. On February 10, 1923 he was made an honorary senator of the Philipps University of Marburg . The honor was given "as recognition for the allocation of valuable section material and of patients with rare clinical pictures as well as for the transfer of scientific works to the library".

Paul Guder died on December 7, 1925 at the age of 70 in Laasphe and was buried on December 10, 1925 at the Waldfriedhof Kunst-Wittgenstein . His wife Helene geb. Stecher died on February 21, 1929 at the age of 74 and was buried next to him. The couple was childless. Her gravestone was one of the most elaborate in the cemetery, but has since been removed at the instigation of the city of Bad Laasphe. The Guder couple donated their assets to a foundation in favor of the University of Marburg. The "Paul and Helene Guder Foundation" was dissolved in 2003. The assets were amalgamated with other bequests and foundations under the new name “Foundation for the Promotion of Research and Teaching at the Philipps University of Marburg (University Foundation)”.

Guder was a recognized doctor in the fields of neurology , psychiatry and forensic medicine . He published several papers in these areas.
