Paul Friedrich Ferdinand Grützner , from 1901 von Grützner , (born April 30, 1847 in Festenberg , Silesia , † July 29, 1919 in Bern ) was a German physiologist.

Life

Grützner studied medicine at the Universities of Breslau , Würzburg and Berlin , where he passed the state examination in 1870 and received his doctorate. He then worked as an assistant to Rudolf Heidenhain at the Physiological Institute of the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelms University . In 1874, Wilhelm Ebstein and Paul Grützner demonstrated pepsinogen in the gastric mucosa. In addition, Grützner worked on voice and language as well as on the physiology of nerves and muscles, urinary secretion and circulatory physiology. In 1875 he was appointed lecturer there and in 1881 associate professor . In the same year the University of Bern appointed him full professor of physiology.

In 1884 Paul Grützner followed Karl von Vierordt to the University of Tübingen , where he took over the chair of physiology. Karl Bürker and Archibald Vivian Hill worked in the institute in Tübingen, which he directed . In 1884 he was accepted into the Leopoldina Academy . In 1892 Grützner was Karl Bonhoeffer's doctoral supervisor . In 1900/01 he was rector of the University of Tübingen.

In 1901 Grützner was awarded the Cross of Honor of the Order of the Württemberg Crown , which was associated with the personal title of nobility. In 1916 he retired. After that, because he was married to a Bernese woman (Stephanie née Ziegler) and was a lover of the Alps - in Tübingen he had been first chairman of the local section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club for decades - he moved back to Bern.
