Wolfgang Lentz (medical doctor)
Wolfgang Lentz (born April 12, 1916 in Schwarza (Thuringian Forest) , † February 9, 1995 in Langeoog ) was a German surgeon.
Life
Lentz's father separated from his mother at an early age and so he grew up in Vegesack and Oldenburg under the care of his grandparents and aunt . The fact that he belonged to a school fraternity brought him the reprimand from Herbartgymnasium Oldenburg . He graduated from high school late in Wilhelmshaven. After the Reich Labor Service and the Wehrmacht , he began studying medicine in the summer semester of 1939 at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg . He immediately became a member of the "Hermann Löns" comradeship , which was supported by the suspended Corps Hubertia Freiburg . He fought three (forbidden) courses and switched to the University of Hamburg for a short time . He passed the state examination at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , which made him a Dr. med. PhD. He then served in the army of the Wehrmacht until the end of the war. He came to the front three times. In 1945/46 he was internally, then two years in surgery at the Schleswig District Hospital. His boss was Gerhard Küntscher , who got him excited about surgery. "Unpaid and surplus" - as he titled his memories - he enslaved from 1948 in the Kiel surgery. He was able to win over Robert Wanke and in 1954 became a specialist and private lecturer . Since 1956 head of surgery in the Oldenburg municipal hospitals , he devoted himself more and more to trauma surgery. While neglecting his own economic interests, he pushed through the division of his clinic in favor of a senior doctor. He lacked academic teaching. In discussions with the Kiel anatomist Wolfgang Bargmann , he found the path that the time dictated - the teaching hospital . In cooperation with the Georg-August University of Göttingen and negotiations with the other Oldenburg bosses, he made the Oldenburg hospitals the first academic teaching hospital in 1964. With Alfred-Adolf Crone-Münzebrock (Pius Hospital) and Herbert Henne (Ev. Hospital), he chaired the 1966 summer meeting of the Association of Northwest German Surgeons in Oldenburg. After his rehabilitation , Lentz remained lifelong associated with the Göttingen faculty. She thanked him in 1979 when she was appointed honorary professor . Retired in 1982, he died in his house on Langeoog.
