CG Kratzenstein, professor physics experimentalis Petropol. et Havn. and his studies on electricity during the eighteenth century. By E. Snorrason.
Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein (1723 (døbt 2 February – 7 July 1795) was a tyskfødt naturforsker and læge.
CG Kratzenstein was born in Wernigerode (in Saxony-Anhalt). After having taken the exam in the city school, he went to the university in Halle, where he confirmed his already founded pietistic faith. His medical-literary writing began already early, he debuted with the book Beweis dass die Seele ihren Körper baue (1743), and in 1744 his Vom Aufsteigen der Dünste und Dämpfe, et studie i den eksperimental-medicinske genre was published. In the same year, his Abhandlung von dem Nutzen der Electricität in der Arzneiwissenschaft was published, which was groundbreaking in that he was the first to propose the use of electricity in the medical treatment of i.a. paralysis.
His studies in electrical engineering have determined his career. In 1746 he obtained his philosophical doctorate with a Latin dissertation on the subject. In the same year he became a professor of physics at Halles University, he was only 23 years old at the time. In 1748 he was sent to St. Petersburg as a professor of mechanics at the Academy in this city. He worked in the army, among other things. with the development of various instruments that can improve navigation to the sea. During a trial trip from St. Petersburg to Arkhangelsk, where he went around Norway, he stayed briefly in Copenhagen, and it was probably here that the contacts arose where he was called to professor of experimental physics and medicine at the University of Copenhagen by royal rescript dated May 25, 1753. Here he stayed the rest of his life, and worked with great enthusiasm as a lecturer at the university.
As early as 1753, he had been accepted into the Society of Science, and he published many treatises in its writings. His lectures in experimental physics (1st edition, 1758) were published in Danish, French, German and Latin.
As a professor of medicine, he organized Denmark's first regulated public examination in medicine in 1769.
His many expensive physical and medical equipment was destroyed by the Copenhagen fire of 1795, when his professor residence in Studiestræde burned down, and he died less than a month after the accident.
