Siegfried Oberndorfer (born June 24, 1876 in Munich , † March 1, 1944 in Istanbul ) was a German doctor, pathologist and cancer researcher

Life

Oberndorfer studied medicine in Munich and Kiel . His doctorate took place like the passing of the state examination and the appointment as a doctor in 1900 in Munich. From October 1900 to September 1901 Oberndorfer was assistant to Friedrich Wilhelm Zahn (1845–1904) in Geneva. As a ship's doctor he was able to successfully fight a plague epidemic that occurred on the Hamburg-Brazil route in 1901. In 1902 he returned as an assistant to the Pathological Institute at the University of Munich, headed by Otto von Bollinger. In 1906, after the early death of Hans Schmaus (1862–1905), Oberndorfer was appointed head of the pathological institute at the Rechts der Isar hospital . In Munich he qualified as a professor in 1906 in pathological anatomy with a thesis on chronic appendicitis .

From 1910 on Oberndorfer headed the pathological institute of the hospital in Munich-Schwabing , where he worked for the following 22 years (from 1911) as associate professor and board member. During the First World War he worked as a medical officer, in 1915 at Rijssel .

His successor at the Institute Rechts der Isar was Hermann Dürck (1869–1941), his colleague and friend from their time together with Otto von Bollinger. Since Dürck was only able to take over the management of the Institute Rechts der Isar on August 1, 1911, due to his position at the Pathological Institute of the University of Jena, Oberndorfer had to remain at the institute. In the Pathological Institute at Schwabing Hospital, he was represented by Emil Emmerich (1882–1937), who was acting director until July 1911.

In autumn 1933 Oberndorfer left Germany at an invitation from Istanbul University because the Nazi regime had dismissed him from service in Munich-Schwabing Hospital on April 1, 1933, together with the chief physicians Otto Neubauer and David Mandelbaum, for racist reasons . Until his death he stayed and published in exile in Turkey , where he worked as a full professor of the medical faculty and director at the Institute for General and Experimental Pathology in Istanbul and was transferred to the Institute for Cancer Research in 1937 , where he was essential for oncology in Turkey contributed. Oberndorfer died in 1944 of a mediastinal tumor , a lump in the middle of the membrane.

Teaching collection

In 1912 Oberndorfer began to build up a collection of specimens, which was housed in the demonstration and collection room on the first floor and which is still in existence today as a teaching collection; it is only accessible to the public in exceptional cases. However, their future was still unclear in February 2019.
