Tilly Edinger Collection 1832-2005
No full textThe Tilly Edinger Family Papers consists of articles, correspondence, and original manuscripts documenting the lives and careers of various members of the Edinger family, beginning with her grandfather. Much of the material also includes historical essays and articles relating to the history of the Jews of Frankfurt, and of Hesse in general.Born in Berlin in 1897, Tilly Edinger was a zoologist and paleontologist who emigrated to the United States via Great Britain and died in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1967. Ludwig Edinger, her son, became a famous neurologist in Frankfurt am Main and founded the Edinger- Institute at the University there.Photographs removed to Photograph Collectiondigitize

Ludwig Edinger: The Vertebrate Series and Comparative Neuroanatomy
No full textAt the end of the nineteenth century, Ludwig Edinger completed the first comparative survey of the microscopic anatomy of vertebrate brains. He is regarded as the founder of the field of comparative neuroanatomy. Modern commentators have misunderstood him to have espoused an anti-Darwinian linear view of brain evolution, harkening to the metaphysics of the scala naturae. This understanding arises, in part, from an increasingly contested view of nineteenth-century morphology in Germany. Edinger did espouse a progressionist, though not strictly linear, view of forebrain evolution, but his work also provided carefully documented evidence that brain stem structures vary in complexity independently from one another and across species in a manner that is not compatible with linear progress. This led Edinger to reject progressionism for all brain
structures other than the forebrain roof, based on reasoning not too dissimilar from those his successors used to dismiss it for the forebrain roof

Ludwig Edinger (1855 - 1918) und sein Neurologisches Institut : Beiträge zur Geschichte der Neurowissenschaften in Frankfurt am Main
No full textDie vorliegende Dissertation stellt Ludwig Edinger (1855-1918) erstmals im Kontext der Entwicklung dar, die das von ihm begründete Neurologische Institut nach seinem Tode genommen hat. Die aufgeworfene Problemstellung konzentriert sich auf die Rekonstruktion dessen, was Edinger in seinem Neurologischen Institut verwirklichen wollte. Mit dieser Institutions- und Ideengeschichte sind menschliche Schicksale unauflösbar verbunden. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung sollen abschließend kurz zusammengefasst werden: 1.) Die kritische Diskussion des bisherigen Rezeptionsstandes, dessen geschichtliche Etappen rekonstruiert wurden, demonstrierte detailliert die bis in die Gegenwart reichenden Verkürzungen im Verständnis von Leben und Werk Ludwig Edingers. Für eine angemessene Erinnerung an die Bedeutung dieses deutschen Juden erwies sich der Nationalsozialismus als entscheidende Zäsur. Ein fast vollständiges Tabu über der Institutsgeschichte zwischen dem Beginn des Ersten und dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges war die wirkungsgeschichtliche Folge (Kapitel I). 2.) Demgegenüber galt es zunächst, den Zusammenhang zwischen Edingers deutsch-jüdischer Lebensgeschichte und der inneren Einheit seines wissenschaftlichen Werkes in den Blick zu rücken (Kapitel II). 3.) Ludwig Edinger ist nun nicht mehr nur als vergleichend-neuroanatomischer Grundlagenforscher, sondern auch als praktischer und theoretisierender Nervenarzt erkennbar (Kapitel III und IV). 4.) Rekonstruiert wurde das interdisziplinäre Forschungsprogramm, das Ludwig Edinger in seinem Neurologischen Instituts verwirklichen wollte (Kapitel IV). 5.) Ein Produkt dieses neurowissenschaftlichen Projekts war die von Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965) begründete Neuropsychologie (Kapitel IV, V und VI). 6.) Einen weiteren Zweig bildete die ebenfalls in den zwanziger Jahren begründete Paläoneurologie Tilly Edingers (1897-1967), die familiengeschichtlich, kulturell und wissenschaftlich an Leben und Werk ihres Vater anknüpfte (Kapitel VII). 7.) Dargestellt wurde schließlich die mehrschichtige Bedeutung Johann Wolfgang von Goethes für deutsch-jüdischen Neurowissenschaftler aus Frankfurt am Main, die bis ins US-amerikanische Exil hineinreichte (Kapitel VIII). Über die Erforschung der genannten Problembereiche hinaus versteht sich die skizzierte Zusammenführung von deutsch-jüdischer Akkulturations- und Emigrationsgeschichte mit der Wissenschaftsgeschichte einer medizinisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Disziplin als die eigentliche historiographische Innovation der vorliegenden Dissertation. Die Geschichte des Neurologischen Instituts nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wäre Gegenstand einer eigenen Arbeit, die auch zu diskutieren hätte, welche Aspekte an Ludwig Edingers Vermächtnis aktualisiert wurden. Ein erster Überblick hierzu liegt vor

Urbanization, Bourgeois Culture, and the Institutionalization of the Frankfurt Neurological Institute by Ludwig Edinger (1855–1918)
No full textLudwig Edinger (1855–1918) is often perceived as a functional neuroanatomist who primarily followed traditional lines of microscopic research. That he was a rather fascinating innovator in the history of neurology at the turn from the nineteenth to the twentieth century has, however, gone quite unnoticed. Edinger’s career and his pronounced hopes for future investigative progress in neurological work mark an important shift, one away from traditional research styles connected to department-based approaches towards a multi-perspective and quite advanced form of interdisciplinary scientific work. Being conceptually influenced by the Austrian neuroanatomist Heinrich Obersteiner (1847–1922) and his foundation of the Neurological Institute in Vienna in 1882, Edinger established a multi-faceted brain research program. It was linked to an institutional setting of laboratory analysis and clinical research that paved the way for a new type of interdisciplinarity. After completion of his medical training, which brought him in working relationships with illustrious clinicians such as Friedrich von Recklinghausen (1810–1879) and Adolf Kussmaul (1822–1902), Edinger settled in 1883 as one of the first clinically working neurologists in the German city of Frankfurt/Main. Here, he began to collaborate with the neuropathologist Carl Weigert (1845–1904), who worked at the independent research institute of the Senckenbergische Anatomie. Since 1902, Edinger came to organize the anatomical collections and equipment for a new brain research laboratory in the recently constructed Senckenbergische Pathologie. It was later renamed the “Neurological Institute”, and became an early interdisciplinary working place for the study of the human nervous system in its comparative, morphological, experimental, and clinical dimensions. Even after Edinger’s death and under the austere circumstances of the Weimar Period, altogether three serviceable divisions continued with fruitful research activities in close alignment: the unit of comparative neurology, the unit of neuropsychology and neuropathology (headed by holist neurologist Kurt Goldstein, 1865–1965), and an associated unit of paleoneurology (chaired by Ludwig Edinger’s daughter Tilly, 1897–1967, who later became a pioneering neuropaleontologist at Harvard University). It was especially the close vicinity of the clinic that attracted Edinger’s attention and led him to conceive a successful model of neurological research, joining together different scientific perspectives in a unique and visibly modern form
