Wenzel Aloys Stütz
Wenzel Aloys Stütz (born September 28, 1772 in Schwäbisch Gmünd ; † May 13, 1806 in Schwäbisch Gmünd) was a doctor and medical writer. He worked as a city doctor in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
Stütz was the son of surgeon Joseph Stütz (1747–1799), who was born in Weiler in the mountains and worked as a city surgeon in the imperial city of Schwäbisch Gmünd from 1772. Wenzel Aloys Stütz completed his studies from 1790 in Würzburg , 1794 in Vienna and from 1795 in Altdorf , where he received his doctorate in 1795 with a study on the physiology of John Brown . In 1797 he was second city physician of Schwäbisch Gmünd, in 1799 first.
One of his most important writings is a work on tetanus (1804), in which he discussed a remedy he had found. In 1801, Stütz was instrumental in founding the Fatherland Society of Doctors and Naturalists in Swabia.
His friend Johann Gottfried Pahl praised him in the memoirs as a brilliant and astute doctor and philosopher who, had he lived longer, would have achieved European fame.
family
On June 11, 1796, Stütz married the daughter of the mayor Benedikt Storr, Barbara Storr (she died in 1801). His son Eduard (1798–1844), who became a veterinarian, lived in poor circumstances. Wenzel Aloys' brother, Bernhard Stütz (1780–1861), worked as a surgeon and veterinarian in Vienna.
