Life
Shower came from an old family of officials in the Electoral Palatinate. His grandfather, Franz Hyzinth Edler von Dusch, was a land clerk in the Neustadt an der Haardt Oberamt , a member of the Electoral Palatinate government in Heidelberg and, from 1803, a court councilor in Mannheim. The father, Alexander Anton Edler von Dusch , was Baden State Minister of the Grand Ducal House and Foreign Affairs from 1843 to 1849.
Theodor von Dusch first studied law in Freiburg , then medicine in Heidelberg . His teachers were mainly Jakob Henle , Karl von Pfeufer and Maximilian Joseph von Chelius . In 1847 he received his doctorate . In 1848 he continued his studies in Paris, but had to return early because of the outbreak of the February Revolution . Shower worked as a general practitioner in Mannheim from 1848 to 1854. During this time he researched a wide variety of areas such as, together with H. Schröder, the effects of air filtered through cotton. In 1854 he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg, where in 1856 he became associate professor for pathology and director of the medical outpatient clinic. He was the first to successfully perform a tracheotomy for diphtheria and a craniotomy in Heidelberg . In 1864 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . In 1870 he became a full professor in Heidelberg. Shower was one of the outstanding personalities of the medical faculty at Heidelberg University. He also made lasting contributions to the establishment of the Luisenanstalt , which was carried out with the generous support of Grand Duchess Luise . The nursing management of the Luisenanstalt , in which 33 children were accepted at the opening, was carried out by the Red Cross sister Karoline Bayer .
Dusch was a member of the Corps Suevia Freiburg (1842) and Nassovia Heidelberg (1843). He was married to Auguste, a daughter of the Heidelberg chemist and teacher of Theodor von Dusch, Leopold Gmelin .
A plaque commemorates Theodor von Dusch in the foyer of the Clinic for Child and Adolescent Medicine at the Heidelberg University Hospital . In the Medical University Clinic Heidelberg (Ludolf von Krehl Klinik) a patient ward is named after him (as of 2016).
