Rudolf Carl August Caesar Beneke (born May 22, 1861 in Marburg ; † April 1, 1946 there ) was a German doctor and university professor .

Life

He was the son of the secret medical council and Marburg university professor Friedrich Wilhelm Beneke (1814–1882) and his wife Süsette nee Sengstack. After attending grammar school in Marburg, he began studying medicine at the university there, and later moved to the universities of Tübingen, Leipzig and Strasbourg. After he had taken in the winter semester 1884, the state examination, he received his doctorate early 1885 in Strasbourg to Dr. med. with Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen . The dissertation topic was: From the hyaline degeneration of the smooth muscles. He then worked there until 1886 as an assistant at the Pathological Institute. In 1886 he became an assistant at the pathological anatomy and general pathology at the University of Leipzig. Here he completed his habilitation with Arthur Birch-Hirschfeld in 1890 with a thesis on the causes of thrombosis. In 1890 he was appointed prosector at the Ducal Hospital in Braunschweig . At the same time he worked as a private lecturer at the University of Göttingen with Johannes Orth (doctor) . In 1897 he became a founding member of the German Pathological Society on the occasion of a conference of German natural scientists and doctors - together with Rudolf Virchow and Daniel von Recklinghausen, as well as Emil Ponfick . In 1903 Beneke was appointed full professor and at the same time director of the Pathological-Anatomical Institute at the University of Königsberg in East Prussia. Here he enjoyed great popularity and maintained private contacts with his predecessor at the institute, Prof. Ernst Christian Neumann , to whom he then also dedicated two obituaries. At the pathological institute, which was modest at the time, Beneke immediately modernized the institute's demonstration room in 1903, which then had two autopsy tables. in order to bring the internationally known institute, at which the blood stem cell was first described, up to the state-of-the-art. Beneke's best known collaborators were Max Askanazy and Ernst Walkhoff. Beneke researched tissue changes on external and mechanical stimuli, e.g. B. on the role of tissue fluids in general on the formation of capillaries and their flow changes in embryogenesis on congenital heart defects. He also dealt in this context with the spondylosis deformans. In the three-year period in Königsberg he has published 15 publications.

In 1906, when the opportunity arose for him to return to his native Marburg, he took advantage of this. At the university there he became a full professor for pathological anatomy and general pathology and for the history of medicine. At the same time he was director of the Pathological Institute. Five years later he moved to the University of Halle in this capacity, where he was appointed secret medical councilor in 1912 and retired in 1927. In his retirement he returned to Marburg, where he died in 1946.

On August 10, 1911, Rudolf Beneke was accepted as a member ( registration number 3334 ) of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina .
