Tytus Chałubiński (born December 29, 1820 in Radom , † November 4, 1889 in Zakopane ) was a Polish doctor , botanist , professor of human medicine and mountaineer in the Tatra Mountains .
Life
Chałubiński studied human medicine and botany in Vilnius and Dorpat . In Würzburg he received his doctorate in human medicine. From 1845 he practiced as a doctor and pathologist in Warsaw . In 1859 he was appointed professor of pathology and therapy in Warsaw. From the middle of the 19th century he began to develop and establish Zakopane as a climatic health resort. In 1873 he was one of the founding members of the Polish Tatra Society . He researched the influence of the Tatra mountain climate on the treatment of diseases, especially in the field of lung diseases. The development of Zakopane as a health resort in the second half of the 19th century is largely due to him. With Sabała he made numerous mountain climbs in the Tatras, the flora of which he studied intensively.
Chałubiński was one of the first representatives of the Polish School of Philosophy of Medicine .
Commemoration
Chałubiński was buried in the Cemetery of Honor in Zakopane . In 1901 a first monument was erected for him in Zakopane. Two years later, a joint monument designed by Stanisław Witkiewicz was set up for him and Sabała in Zakopane. Some of the Tatra plant species he discovered were named after him, such as B. the algae species Peridinium chalubinskii and Chalubinskia tatrica . The Wrota Chałubińskiego mountain pass in the High Tatras also bears his name, as does the city hospital in Zakopane and numerous roads throughout Poland.
