Walther Riese

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walther Riese , also Walter (born June 30, 1890 in Berlin  ; † September 9, 1976 in Richmond, Virginia ) was a German-American psychiatrist and medical historian .

Life

Walther Riese was the son of the Berlin factory owner Emil Riese and Anna, nee. Rosenthal. After graduating from the Dorotheenstädtisches Gymnasium, he studied medicine in Berlin, Greifswald and Strasbourg and received his doctorate in 1915 under Ernst Meyer in Königsberg . In 1914 he was drafted into military service. In 1915 he married the Hungarian Berliner Hertha Pataky (1892–1981); they had two daughters, Renate and Beate. Kurt Goldstein brought him to Frankfurt am Main in 1920 , where he completed his habilitation in 1924 . In 1926 he became head of the Neuroanatomical Institute at the Frankfurt Psychiatric Clinic under Karl Kleist .

After the handover of power to the National Socialists , he and his wife were held in protective custody for three days . Leaving all their belongings behind, the family took the train to Basel on March 31, 1933, the day before the Jewish passports were confiscated . Since he could not get a work permit in Switzerland , the family moved to Lyon through Angelo Donati and Mieczyslaw Minkowski . Before that, all four had to catch up with the Baccalauréat in Paris . In 1937 he moved to the Sorbonne in order to set up a laboratory for comparative anatomy based on the Frankfurt model.

As a result of the German conquest of France , they fled to the south of France and from there to the French colony of Morocco , where they reached a Greek ship to Canada in Casablanca and from there were finally able to enter the USA . With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation , Riese received a teaching position at the University of Richmond , where he set up a brain pathology laboratory.

Riese became professor of the history of medicine in Richmond, and eventually professor of neurology and psychiatry. In 1969, 24 years after the end of the war and 36 years after his expulsion from Frankfurt, Riese was given the status of full professor at Frankfurt University as part of the reparation process .
