Eduard Carl Adolf Uhlenhuth (geb. 19. Juli 1885 in Wolkersdorf, Österreich; gest. 5. Mai 1961 in Wien) war ein österreichisch-US-amerikanischer Anatom.

Lebensweg

Eduard Uhlenhuth wurde am 19. Juli 1885 in Wolkersdorf, Österreich, geboren. Er studierte Zoologie an der Universität Wien. Im Jahr 1911 wurde er dort zum Dr. phil. promoviert. Drei Jahre lang war er als Forschungsassistent an der Biologischen Versuchsanstalt in Wien tätig. Er experimentierte dort unter anderem erfolgreich mit der Transplantation von Reptilienaugen.

Im Jahr 1914, kurz vor Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs, ging Uhlenhuth in die USA, wo er Fellow am Rockefeller Institute in New York wurde und am „Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research“ tätig war. Später wurde er Mitarbeiter dieses Instituts.

Während seines Aufenthalts in New York lernte er Elizabeth Martha Baier kennen und heiratete sie.

Dr. Uhlenhuth wurde 1924 als amerikanischer Staatsbürger eingebürgert und wurde im selben Jahr Gastwissenschaftler in der anatomischen Abteilung der Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.

Im Jahr 1925 nahm Uhlenhuth eine Stelle als außerordentlicher Professor für Anatomie an der University of Maryland School of Medicine an. Er war von 1925 bis zu seiner Pensionierung im Jahr 1955 als Anatom an der University of Maryland School of Medicine tätig. Dort war Uhlenhuth ab 1931 Professor für Grobe Anatomie („Gross Anatomy“), ab 1933 Professor für Anatomie, ab 1936 Vorsitzender der Abteilung für Grobe Anatomie, ab 1949 Vorsitzender der Abteilung für Anatomie.

Eduard Uhlenhuth hat den „Atlas der Anatomie des Menschen“ von Johannes Sobotta (1869–1945) ins Englische übersetzt („Atlas of descriptive human anatomy“) und war Herausgeber der beiden ersten englischsprachigen Auflagen dieses Standardwerks.

Eduard Uhlenhuths Forschungslaufbahn gliederte sich – seinem jeweiligen wissenschaftlichen Interessenschwerpunkt nach – in drei Abschnitte. Die erste Periode umfasste seine Studien, die er in Wien begann und am Rockefeller Institute fortsetzte. Er war der erste, der die Durchführbarkeit der Augentransplantation bei Amphibien nachwies. Die zweite Periode, von 1923 bis 1945, war intensiven Studien zur Anatomie und Physiologie der Hypophyse und der Schilddrüse gewidmet. Uhlenhuths Aufsatz über seine Forschungsarbeit wurde 1936 mit dem van-Meter-Award der American Association for the Study of Goiter ausgezeichnet. In der dritten Periode, von 1945 bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1955, widmete sich Uhlenhuth der Anatomie des Beckens. Diese Arbeit mündete in die Veröffentlichung seines Buches „Some Problems in the Anatomy of the Pelvis“, das viel Anerkennung bei Urologen und Gynäkologen fand.

Nachdem er 1955 pensioniert worden war, arbeitete er noch bis 1957 weiter als Forschungsprofessor ohne Lehrverpflichtung an der medizinischen Fakultät und wurde dann zum Professor emeritus ernannt.

Uhlenhuth galt als anspruchsvoller Hochschullehrer, der seinen Studenten Disziplin und Leistungsbereitschaft abverlangte. Er hatte einigen Einfluss etwa auf den späteren Krebsforscher Glenn Horner Algire (1907–1958) und auf den Zoologen Frank Henry John Figge (1904-1973)

Im Jahr 1957 starb Uhlenhuths erste Ehefrau, Elisabeth Uhlenhuth, geb. Baier.

Bald danach ging Eduard Uhlenhuth nach Österreich zurück. In Wien heiratete er im Februar 1961, nur wenige Monate vor seinem Tod, seine zweite Frau, Renée von Bronneck.

Eduard Uhlenhuth starb nach mehrmonatiger Krankheit am 5. Mai 1961 in Wien.

Uhlenhuth war ein eifriger Büchersammler und trug während seiner Amtszeit an der University of Maryland School of Medicine eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Anatomie-Texten zusammen, darunter auch seltene historische Veröffentlichungen.

Uhlenhuth hatte gute Kenntnisse über Kathedralenarchitektur; sein Hobby war der Bau von Modellen europäischer Kathedralen, darunter der Limburger Dom, aus kleinen, dem Originalstein nachempfundenen Bausteinen, ohne Klebstoff oder Mörtel.

Uhlenhuth hatte letztwillentlich verfügt, dass sein Leichnam von Studierenden obduziert und sein Skelett der anatomischen Sammlung seines Instituts zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Da er in Österreich starb, entfiel die Obduktion durch seine Studierenden, und nur seine Knochen wurden per Schiff nach Baltimore gebracht.

Tara Wink, Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth Papers Finding Aid

Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth was a professor of Anatomy at the University of Maryland School of Medicine from 1925 until his retirement in 1955. In 1957 he was named professor emeritus.

He was an avid book collector amassing an extensive collection of Anatomy Texts for the department during his tenure. This collection includes correspondence about the purchase of these texts as well as publications about the collection. In addition to the Anatomy books, the papers include biographical materials and publications. The majority of the Department of Anatomy Book collection remains in the Historical Collections Department.

Biographical History:

Eduard Uhlenhuth was born in Wolkersdorf, Austria on July 19, 1885 and was educated in Vienna receiving his PhD from the University of Vienna in 1911. In 1914, after three years as a research assistant at the Biologische Versuchsanstalt in Vienna, he became a Fellow at the Rockefeller Institute in New York. While in New York, he met and married Elizabeth Martha Baier. In 1925, Dr. Uhlenhuth accepted the position of Associate Professor of Anatomy at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In 1934, Dr. Uhlenhuth was named Chairman of the Department of Gross Anatomy and in 1949 Chairman of the combined Anatomy department. Retiring in 1955, he continued working in the School of Medicine as Research Professor until 1957, when he was named a professor emeritus. Dr. Uhlenhuth passed away on May 5, 1961.

Dr. Uhlenhuth was an avid researcher and book collector. His research has been broken down into three areas: Amphibia, anatomy and physiology of the hypophysis and thyroid glands, and finally on the anatomy of the pelvis. He also believed in the value of studying ancient and historic anatomical texts. He established the Anatomical Book collection in the Anatomy Department by purchasing valuable anatomy texts, including De Medicina (1497), the oldest volume in the Historical Collections. The Anatomical Library collection was transferred to the Health Sciences and Human Services Library sometime after Dr. Uhlenhuth’s death.

Väterliches Verhältnis zwischen Uhlenhuth und Figge

… Dr. [Frank H.J.] Figge was a close associate of another famous Maryland anatomist, Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth, with a relationship of almost father and son. While both were excellent anatomists and master teachers, their methods and approaches were far distant, with Figge becoming a “friend” and confidante to many of his students, particularly the top ones and the ones in trouble. He directed the studies of a number of graduate students in anatomy and other subjects, many of whom will be leading teachers in their time. His relationship to the students was close, warm and concerned. This was apparent in personal teaching, interviews, advisory sessions and private conversations….

When Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth died on May 5, 1961, Anatomy and the University of Maryland lost a most productive, scholarly scientist and colorful teacher.

Eduard Carl Adolf Uhlenhuth was born in Wolkersdorf, Austria on July 19, 1885. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Vienna and in 1911 received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from that school. He served as a Research Assistant in Biology at the Biologische Versuchsanstalt from 1911 to 1914

In 1914 he came to the United States as a Fellow at the Rockefeller Institute in New York. In 1916 he was made an Associate at the Institute. He continued his work on tissue culture and transplantation of amphibian eyes and began to work on thyroid physiology and the metamorphosis of amphibians. While at the Rockefeller Institute he married Elizabeth Martha Baier, and made several field trips with her to Texas caves to collect and study the neotenous cave salamander Typhlomolge. He published several papers on this remarkable amphibian.

In 1924, Dr. Uhlenhuth came to Baltimore as a guest of the Anatomy Department of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and the following year accepted a position at the University of Maryland School of Medicine as Associate Professor of Anatomy, advancing to the rank of Professor of Gross Anatomy in 1931. He was appointed Chairman of the combined divisions of Anatomy in 1949. Following his retirement in 1955, Dr. Uhlenhuth continued his work at the School of Medicine as Research Professor of Anatomy until 1957 when he became Emeritus Professor of Anatomy.

Dr. Uhlenhuth's scientific interests and research career were divided into three principal periods.

The first or early period included his studies started in Vienna and continued at the Rockefeller Institute. He was the first to demonstrate the feasibility of eye transplantation in amphibia.

A second period from 1923 to 1945 was devoted to intensive studies on the anatomy and physiology of the hypophysis and thyroid glands. He and his students discovered the thyreotropic hormone.

In the third period, from 1945 until his retirement, Dr. Uh1enhuth directed his efforts to a detailed study of the anatomy of the pelvis, particularly the pelvic fascia, and urogenital apparatus. This work culminated in the publication of his book entitled, "Some Problems in the Anatomy of the Pelvis," which won the world-wide praise of urologistsurologists and gynecologists.

He also translated the text of Sobotta's "Atlas of Descriptive Human Anatomy," and was the American Editor for two editions of this remarkable atlas.

His energetic work and over 100 publications established him as an international authority in his various research areas, but Dr. Uhlenhuth was equally recognized as an outstanding teacher of Gross Anatomy. His more than 3,000 medical and graduate students will have no difficulty recalling Dr. Uhlenhuth's lucid and dynamic lectures, beautifully organized and illustrated, and vigorously presented. They will also be able to remember tense moments experienced in his courses and some of the oft repeated legends about him. These were usually based on his intense devotion to effective teaching and were related to the high standards which he expected and required from his students.

At the time Dr. Uhlenhuth arrived at the University of Maryland, teaching medical students was regarded as the only obligation of the school, and research received little or no emphasis. In spite of meager facilities, Dr. Uhlenhuth's ..essay on thyreotropic hormone of the pituitary gland won the van Meter Prize awarded by the American Association for the Study of Goiter in 1936.

Dr. Uhlenhuth took an active role in the founding of the University of Maryland Biological Society. His intense interest in the history of anatomy and in the ancient, classical works of anatomy led him to adopt the hobby of collecting old and rare anatomical books. The generous contributions of friends and alumni enabled him to accumulate a substantial number of rare anatomical classics. This collection is unequaled in departments of anatomy in America, and the Department of Anatomy and the University of Maryland are justly proud of it.

His other hobby was building cathedrals with small building blocks, resembling the original stone. He was an authority on cathedral architecture, and made replicas of several well-known European cathedrals.

Dr. Uhlenhuth held memberships in many professional societies, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Association of Anatomists, the Harvey Society, Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, Society for the Study of Internal Secretions, the Marine Biological Laboratory, and was a past President of the University Biological Society. He was an Honorary Member of the Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity.

Dr. Uhlenhuth is survived by Mrs. Renée von Bronneck Uhlenhuth, whom he married in Vienna last February [= 1961]; his four brothers, August, Alexander, Victor, and Wilhelm; and he continues to live through his son, Eberhard, who is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, and three grandchildren, Kim, Karen, and Eric Uhlenhuth.

He contributed the major part of his life to the development of the University of Maryland Medical School and his loyalty was deep and unwavering. His devotion to the school, the Department of Anatomy, and to his subject of Anatomy can be gauged from the fact that he carried a will, donating his body to be dissected here at the University of Maryland if he died in this country. Another similar document specified that in case he died in Europe, his skeleton was to be returned here to be placed in the extensive osteological collection that he started. Special efforts will be made to prepare a perfect skeleton and to place it in the collection as a memorial to him. Thus, Dr. Uhlenhuth will continue to be of service to the University of Maryland Medical School and live in the hearts and minds of all the students that he inspired and helped.

Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland, Report 31, 1961, Necrology

EDUARD UHLENHUTH. On May 5, 1961, Dr. Eduard C. A. Uhlenhuth, died in Vienna in his native Austria after several months of illness. He had been a member of our society for many years until 1957 when, upon his retirement from the University of Maryland Medical School, he returned to live in Austria. Professor Uhlenhuth was born in Austria in 1886. He received his doctorate in zoology in 1911 from the University of Vienna and then became a biology research assistant at the Research Institute, Vienna. In 1914, Doctor Uhlenhuth came to the United States on a fellowship to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York. He later became an Associate of the Institute. Dr. Uhlenhuth became a naturalized American citizen in 1924, the same year he came to Baltimore as a guest in the department of anatomy of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He rose through the ranks of the anatomy department; professor of gross anatomy, 1931; professor of anatomy, 1933; chairman of the department of gross anatomy, 1936; chairman of the department of anatomy, 1949. Dr. Uhlenhuth retired first in 1955, but continued his activity as a research professor until 1957, when he reached emeritus status. Among the subjects in which he had deep interest were tissue transplant, the thyroid, the nervous system and the anatomy of the human pelvis. He had published more than 200 scientific articles and in 1953 was author of a book, "Problems in the Anatomy of the Pelvis." In 1936, he had won the Van Meter Prize of the Association for the Study of Goiter for his discovery of the thyrotropic hormone, which is secreted by the front lobe of the pituitary gland. During his European travels, Dr. Uhlenhuth indulged his hobby, the study of cathedral architecture, to a great extent. He was an authority on the subject, and had built several models, including the Cathedral of Limburg, Germany, and a typical Romanesque cathedral. He used tiny building stones, resembling the originals, and used no mortar or adhesive in the replicas. Dr. Uhlenhuth was highly regarded as a teacher by both students and colleagues. He exacted maximum industry from his pupils and brooked no nonsense. He was the founder and a former president of the University of Maryland Biological Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. He was also a member of the American Association of Anatomists, the Harvey Society and the German Society of Maryland.

Augentransplantation

He was the first to demonstrate the feasibility of eye transplantation in amphibia.

Theoretisch unterliegt es keinem Zweifel, daß bei Ratten, denen ein Auge herausgenommen und an dessen Stelle das Auge einer andere Ratte eingesetzt wird, die Sehnerven zusammenwachsen, zumal es ihm gelang, die Regeneration des Sehnerven im mikroskopischen Bilde bis ins Gchirn hinein zu verfolgen und anderseits an der Netzhaut des eingesetzten Auges nachzuweisen, daß sie sich vollständig erhole. Die Versuche gehen zurück auf Experimente, die der gegenwärttg am Rockefeller-Institut in Newyork arbeitende Wiener Biologe Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth vor fast fünfzehn Jahren in der Biologischen Versuchsanstalt in Wien durchgeführt hat und die bewiesen, daß man an Kaltblütlern, besonders an Amphibien und Fischen, derartige Augentransplantatiionen mit sicherem Erfolge durchführen könne. Koppanyis Verdienst ist es, diese Versuche bei Warmblütlern ausgenommen und technisch so durchgeführt zu hoben, daß die Ratten, mit den eingesetzten Augen anderer Ratten, in einem Falle sogar mit den eingesetzten Augen einer Maus, sich so benahmen, wie sehende Tiere es tun.

XXXI—XXXIL. — Wenn man samt der umgebenden Haut ausgeschnittene Augen von Salamandra maculosa (und Triton alpestris) in die Nackengegend eines anderen Tieres derselben Art transplantiert, so unterliegen sie zuerst Degenerationsprozessen, wobei die Sehzellen ganz verschwinden, dann tritt jedoch nach mehreren Wochen die Wiederherstellung der Retinastruktur und der übrigen Teile des Auges ein, der Opticus wächst zu einem langen Nervenstrang aus, der unter Umständen in das Spinalganglion eindringen kann.

Uhlenhuths Erziehungsstil

His energetic work and over 100 publications established him as an international authority in his various research areas, but Dr. Uhlenhuth was equally recognized as an outstanding teacher of Gross Anatomy. His more than 3,000 medical and graduate students will have no difficulty recalling Dr. Uhlenhuth’s lucid and dynamic lectures, beautifully organized and illustrated, and vigorously presented. They will also be able to remember tense moments experienced in his courses and some of the oft repeated legends about him. These were usually based on his intense devotion to effective teaching and were related to the high standards which he expected and required from his students.

S. 216:

During this time, and right before his retirement, an interesting thing happened with the head of the Anatomy Department. Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth, originally Austrian, and with autocratic disciplines of the middle of the 20th century, was strict in his approach to students and to teaching human anatomy. When Dr. Uhlenhuth asked a question, each student was required to stand, give his name and then answer. After one question, a stu-

dent stood up, gave his name and then a little unsure of his answer, began as follows: “Dr. Uhlenhuth, I believe…” Dr. Uhlenhuth stopped him with a raised hand. “Just a minute, just a minute,” he said. “We believe in Jesus Christ.” He paused. “But in anatomy, we KNOW.”

Dr. Uhlenhuth was highly regarded as a teacher by both students and colleagues. He exacted maximum industry from his pupils and brooked no nonsense. | Dr. Uhlenhuth war als Lehrer bei Schülern und Kollegen hoch angesehen. Er verlangte von seinen Schülern ein Höchstmaß an Fleiß und duldete keinen Unfug.

„Dr. Uhlenhuth was my father's boss from the late 1920s until he retired in 1955. … He scared some people with his fierce manner, but he did not scare me.“

Uhlenhuths Skelett

His devotion to the school, the Department of Anatomy, and to his subject of Anatomy can be gauged from the fact that he carried a will, donating his body to be dissected here at the University of Maryland if he died in this country. Another similar document specified that in case he died in Europe, his skeleton was to be returned here to be placed in the extensive osteological collection that he started. Special efforts will be made to prepare a perfect skeleton and to place it in the collection as a memorial to him. Thus, Dr. Uhlenhuth will continue to be of service to the University of Maryland Medical School and live in the hearts and minds of all the students that he inspired and helped.

[...] Dr. Eduard Uhlenhuth, a Viennese, was Maryland's Professor of Anatomy from 1925 until his death in the late 50's or early 60's. He was indeed a magnificent anatomist, very forceful and very determined to teach medical students anatomy to the fullest. Dr. Uhlenhuth was devoted totally to anatomy, and at the time of his death had willed that his body be dissected by students of anatomy. This was done, and his skeleton was then mounted in a glass case in the Anatomical Hall at the University of Maryland. Dr. Uhlenhuth was the only person that I have known both in the flesh and in the bone. It was with great respect that I returned to see Dr. Uhlenhuth's skeleton for the last time. He was truly a great man, a gentleman, and a wonderful anatomist.

The skeleton was prepared and given to my father to bring back to the US. My father was traveling by ship and he had the box with the bones in it under his bunk. When the room steward inquired and was informed of the contents of the box, it was hard to persuade him to continue to clean the cabin. The skeleton was given to the man who ran the anatomical specimens section to articulate. But this man had been a long time friend and colleague of Dr. Uhlenhuth and could not bear to do it. The bones were eventually consumed in an accidental embalming plant fire.
