Felix von Niemeyer

Biography edit

He studied medicine at the University of Halle and in 1844 started work as a physician in Magdeburg. Later, he was a professor of internal medicine at the University of Greifswald (from 1855), and at the University of Tübingen (from 1860). During the Franco-Prussian War, he served as a medical consultant.

Niemeyer is largely remembered for his written works, in particular, the Lehrbuch der speziellen Pathologie, a textbook that was published in eleven editions up until 1884, and was translated into seven languages.[2] He is also known for espousing a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet[3] that was in essence a modification of the popular "Banting diet", a regimen endorsed by William Banting (1796–1878), an English undertaker.

In 1848 he was co-founder of the Medizinische Gesellschaft zu Magdeburg (Medical Society of Magdeburg).[4] In 1865 he became a consulting physician to King Charles I of Württemberg,[4] and in 1870, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
