Rudolf Strempel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Strempel (born July 9, 1891 in Heusweiler ; † 1981 in Bad Wiessee ) was a German doctor for skin and venereal diseases and a university professor in Homburg .

Life

Strempel studied in Munich and joined the Corps Ratisbonia in 1910 . He was trained as a dermatologist by Erich Hoffmann in Bonn . In 1925 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on the serology of syphilis . Appointed associate professor in 1930, he took over the department for skin and venereal diseases at the Berlin-Tempelhof Wehrmacht Hospital in 1934 .

After a medical mission in the war, most recently as a deputy army doctor, Strempel became the first professor to take over the management of the dermatology clinic at the Saarland University Hospital in the spring of 1946 . By the end of the same year the clinic had been expanded to 160 beds. The most common diseases were gonorrhea and syphilis and not a few skin tuberculosis . Therefore Strempel dealt almost exclusively with venerological diseases, about which he gave excellent lectures.

With a very tight staffing plan and a corresponding overload, the lecture hall wing was put into operation in 1957 and Norbert Klüken, the first Homburg dermatologist, was habilitated .
