Esej
Grad svjetskog naslijeđa i dom Dorotheje Erxleben, prve diplomirane liječnice u Njemačkoj
Alexander Kast
Sažetak
In Quedlinburg, which was founded in 922 by the Saxon King Henry I, there was a convent for unmarried daughters of the European highest nobility. This Imperial Ladies’ Convent (936-1802) helped many a girl to build self-confidence. It is no wonder then that the first German lady physician, Dorothea Erxleben (1715-62) was a Quedlinburgian. After being granted the right to take medical examinations by Frederick II, King of Prussia, on 12 June 1754, Dorothea Erxleben received a medical degree from Halle University as the first woman to do that in Germany, long before 1899 when women were first admitted to medical state exams.
