Johann Christoph Bohl

On September 20, 1725, he enrolled at the University of Leiden where he became a student of Herman Boerhaave, and a classmate of Albrecht von Haller.

He spent four years in Amsterdam working with the Dutch anatomist Frederik Ruysch.

On September 23, 1741, he became professor of medicine at the Medical Faculty of the Königsberg College and a royal Prussian physician.

Bohl is known as the sponsor of Immanuel Kant, whom he also financially supported during his time at the Collegium Fridericianum.

[2] Kant dedicated his first book, Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces, to Bohl.
