- Resum
- Heinrich Steinhöwel (1410/11–1479) was a successful author and translator in the period of the early Humanism. Although occupied with multiple duties as a town physician of the free imperial city of Ulm for over 20 years, there are hardly any traces of medicine in his works, as the medical historian Karl Sudhoff (1853–1938) already noted. So far, little is known about Steinhöwel's medical practice. The objective of the article is to ascertain Steinhöwel's duties as a town physician and to identify his multiple roles in the medical system of his time: the beginnings as a practicing physician, the office of a town physician, and as a pharmacist. In order to find regulations for the medical system of Ulm as well as employment contracts of Steinhöwel and contemporaneous town physicians for comparative purposes, extensive archive investigation was conducted in south-western Germany, especially in the municipal archives of Ulm. New results are the specific content of Steinhöwel's contracts as an early-modern town physician, chronological issues in respect to his withdrawal from this office, the ownership of a pharmacy, and his double-role as a pharmacist and supervisor of pharmacies.
