Carl August Wilhelm Berends

Carl August Wilhelm Berends (19 April 1759 – 1 December 1826) was a German physician born in Anklam, Pomerania.

In 1811, he moved to the University of Breslau, being due to the closure of Viadrina University in Frankfurt, and resulting in the relocation of much of its faculty to Breslau.

[1] In 1789, Berends published Über den Unterricht junger Ärzte am Krankenbett (Education of Young Physicians at the Bedside), in which he described his experiences at the Thielschen Krankenhaus in Frankfurt.

Shortly after his death in 1826, his one-time student, Karl Sundelin, published Berends' lectures on practical medical science ("Vorlesungen über die praktische Arzneiwissenschaft").
