[Carl Hohnbaum, the life and work of a distinguished neurologist, founder of the contemporary Hildburghausen District Hospital].

Carl Hohnbaum was the founder of what is now the Hildburghausen District Mental Hospital. He was born at Coburg in 1780, called to Hildburghausen in 1805 after having been active as a general practitioner for a short time, and appointed chief medical officer of the former Duchy. He devoted much of his time and effort to improving medical care for the inmates, and he thus made a meritorious contribution to the treatment of mental and emotional disorders. Hohnbaum was one of the most productive medical writers of his time. He died in 1855. In an obituary published in the Village Paper he was designated as one of Hildburghausen's "most distinguished and eminent" citizens.
