Life

Rudolf Abel was the son of the corps general physician Ludwig Abel. He was awarded his doctorate in medicine in Greifswald in 1890 . He became Friedrich Loeffler's assistant and completed his habilitation in hygiene in 1893 . He then worked as a private lecturer and senior medical director in Hamburg , in the headquarters of the Berlin police and in the Prussian Ministry of Culture. From 1903 to 1905 Abel worked for the Opole government, in 1905 he was appointed lecturer in the medical department of the Ministry of Culture, and in 1906 he was appointed to the secret medical council. From 1910 to 1915 Privy Councilor Rudolf Abel was the head of the Royal State Institute for Water Hygiene in Berlin. In 1915 he took over the chair for hygiene in Jena, succeeding August Gärtner .

The private lecturer Friedrich Wilhelm Bickert (born March 17, 1898 in Metz; died December 17, 1944 on the Western Front), a member of the NSDAP since around August 1932, sent a detailed letter of complaint to the Thuringian Ministry of Education on June 4, 1933, with numerous accusations against Rudolf Abel, who at that time was a full professor of hygiene and head of the hygiene institute. Then Abraham Esau , Rector of the University of Jena , initiated official criminal proceedings. The results of the investigations were the termination of the proceedings against Rudolf Abel on November 10, 1933 and Bickert's "voluntary waiver" of the Venia Legendi on April 1, 1934.
