August Hauner

August Hauner (29 October 1811 – 11 June 1884) was a German pediatrician and founder of the Hauner Children's Hospital in Munich, which today is part of the University of Munich hospital complex.

He studied medicine at the Universities of Munich and Vienna, and in 1837 relocated to Tann, Bavaria as a general practitioner.

In 1845 he moved to Munich, where he opened a small private hospital for treatment of underprivileged sick children.

In 1850 he obtained his habilitation at Munich, and began teaching clinical courses in pediatrics.

In 1882 a new hospital building was constructed on the Lindwurmstraße, two years prior to his death.
