Theodor Dobler
Theodor Dobler (born January 7, 1893 in Pflugfelden ; † December 8, 1973 in Schorndorf ) was a German doctor and professional politician. At the end of the Second World War he ensured that Tübingen was handed over to the Western Allies without a fight. He was committed to the development of the medical associations.
Life
As a hospital doctor and on-site doctor, Dobler had disregarded the perseverance and destruction slogans of the National Socialists under the Gauleiter of Württemberg-Hohenzollern , Wilhelm Murr , and at the right moment sent a vehicle with parliamentarians towards the French armed forces , which were already camped at Hirschau . They informed the French that the Tübingen hospital district with its six to seven thousand wounded would not be defended. This created an essential prerequisite for the surrender without a fight. On April 19, 1945, the city of Tübingen was handed over to the invading troops without a fight.
After the establishment of the Tübingen State Secretariat for the French-occupied zone of Württemberg and Hohenzollern in October 1945, he was appointed head of the health service department of the State Office for the Interior. He was committed to the establishment of a professional representation. A provisional medical association could be convened as early as October 1945. As President of the Medical Association of South Württemberg, Dobler took part in the 1947 working conference of the West German Medical Associations in Bad Nauheim . There the foundations for a German Medical Association were laid. In 1949 Dobler, who practiced as a resident doctor after the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany in Schorndorf , was elected the first post-war chairman of the re-established Hartmannbund .
In 1963 Dobler received the Paracelsus Medal from the German medical profession. The Tübingen Kaiserstraße from the city center to Österberg was renamed "Doblerstraße".
