from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Lindemann (full name Carl Wilhelm Julius Theodor Lindemann ; born November 3, 1831 in Diepholz , † February 23, 1903 in Hanover ) was a German doctor , secret medical adviser and from 1863 to 1896 medical director of the Henriettenstift .

Life

Theodor Lindemann was born to a medical councilor in the city of Diepholz in the Kingdom of Hanover before industrialization began . He spent his childhood in Diepholz, attended the Ratsgymnasium Osnabrück and passed the Abitur there at Easter 1852. On April 20, 1852, he enrolled as a medical student at Georgia-Augusta . There he joined the fraternity of Hannovera .

After graduating as Dr. med. at the University of Göttingen he passed the medical state examination in Hanover in spring 1856. In order to continue his education, he then visited various medical institutions in Paris. Then he worked for a few months at the insane asylum in Hildesheim; then he settled as a general practitioner in Diepholz.

In 1859 he joined the army of the Kingdom of Hanover as a provisional assistant doctor and was initially a member of the 1st Battalion of the Hanover Artillery Regiment. On August 30, 1860, he was promoted to assistant doctor and transferred to the 1st Battalion of the Guard Infantry Regiment in Hanover. He stayed there for three years. During this time he had contact with the surgeon Louis Stromeyer , who from 1854 was chief of the military medical services of the Kingdom of Hanover. This influenced Lindemann to turn to surgery.

On October 17, 1861, Lindemann married Auguste Amalie Friederike (born November 25, 1837 in Hanover) in the royal seat of the kingdom, with whom he temporarily lived at Schiffgraben 12 .

In 1863 he worked as a general practitioner in Hanover and shortly afterwards became the first medical director of the Henriettenstift , whose sick department was founded in 1860 and initially only had a few beds. At first he kept his work as a general practitioner, but the Henriettenstift clinic grew steadily, had 120 beds by 1890, was one of the largest hospitals in Hanover and was known far beyond the city limits. He exercised his role as medical director for more than 33 years. He became known in specialist circles for the method he developed, the unilateral operation of the liver chinococci. In 1897 he asked to be released because of his age. His successor as head of the surgical department was his son Georg Lindemann. From 1897, Theodor Lindemann lived in retirement in Hanover, but remained a member of the Henriettenstift committee until his death.

Theodor Lindemann was related by marriage to the entrepreneur and ceramic artist Gertrud Kraut , who lived from 1901 to 1912 in the Röhrs house he had acquired in 1883 , which the architect Heinrich Tramm had at Schiffgraben 1 from 1854 to 1855 for the family of the previously deceased businessman, Cloth merchant and senator Heinrich Bernhard Röhrs had built. The building, which the ceramist described in detail more than half a century later in a letter to the art historian Georg Hoeltje and which she compared, among other things, with the Villa Kaulbach , named by the family around the painter Friedrich Kaulbach , was acquired by the Hannoversche Landeskreditanstalt in 1912 Demolished in 1913 in favor of a new building for the credit institute.
