Life

Richard Siebeck was the son of the publisher Paul Siebeck . He attended the humanistic grammar school and studied from 1902 at the universities of Tübingen, Freiburg and Berlin. In 1907, under Ludolf von Krehl, he became Dr. med. doctorate and then became his assistant at the Heidelberg Medical Clinic, where he also completed his habilitation in 1912, became a private lecturer and after continuous participation in the First World War in 1918 an adjunct professor .

In 1924 Siebeck was appointed to the chair for internal medicine in Bonn , where he also headed the university's polyclinic. In 1930/31 he was the rector of the university.

When Ludolf von Krehl resigned from his chair in Heidelberg in 1931 , Siebeck returned to Heidelberg University as head of the internal clinic for 3 years. In 1933 he became a supporting member of the SS as well as a member of the NS teachers' association and the NS doctors association .

In 1934 he took over the chair of the retired professor Wilhelm His in Berlin and took over the management of the 1st Medical Clinic of the Charité . At his inaugural lecture , he said: As much as natural science and technology mean for medicine, "the symptoms in the patient in their actual essence ... can only be properly understood from the overall condition of the patient and from his life history."

In 1938 Siebeck became a member of the NSDAP . In 1938 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . He was temporarily chairman of the German Society for Internal Medicine .

From 1941 Siebeck was again a university professor in Heidelberg. During the Second World War he was a member of the scientific senate of the military medical system from August 1942. He was also a board member of the German Society for Constitutional Research and on the advisory board of the German Medical Weekly . Siebeck became known beyond the medical community for his advocacy of holistic medicine:

After the Second World War, the colloquially casually called “Siebeck Barracks” were set up on the other side of the Neckar, in which an immunological laboratory found shelter (which was housed in the main building of the DKFZ in 1972 with its research topic). In this laboratory, according to the Heidelberg anthropological school or the Heidelberg "Medicine in Motion", Paul Christian , Wolfgang Rapp et.al researched with the active support of Karl Heinrich Bauer on the connection between clinical immunobiochemistry and the associative interpretation patterns of psychoanalysis.

After his retirement in 1952, Siebeck devoted himself to the student support of the Evangelisches Studienwerk Villigst in Heidelberg, who met every four weeks in his house so that the various faculties could talk to each other in the interests of Studium generale.

Commitment to the sister school of Heidelberg University

Richard Siebeck was the medical director of the DRK nursing school at the University Hospital in Heidelberg. The nursing management was incumbent on the DRK superior Olga Freiin von Lersner . In the post-war years, the DRK nursing school was transferred to the nursing school of Heidelberg University (USH), which was initially to be housed in the “Siebeck barracks” in what is now Neuenheimer Feld. In founding USH, Olga von Lersner received significant support from Richard Siebeck, Viktor von Weizsäcker and Karl Heinrich Bauer . The USH was a model institution for the academization of nursing, which was brought into being after the Second World War on the initiative and with financial support of the Rockefeller Foundation . Wiltrud Grosse dealt with Richard Siebeck's biographical approach and the connections between the “Heidelberg School” and Karl Barth's theology in her thesis at the USH in 1965. Wiltrud Grosse was the last head of the Heidelberg University's sister school until 2006.
