Professor Dr. was only retired for ten years.
Hans Peter Emslander.
Exactly a decade after he left the Erding Clinic as chief physician and medical director, the popular Erdinger died on Saturday at the age of 75.
Erding - With him, Erding is losing a committed, expert, but also empathetic and caring doctor.
He left a clear and lasting mark at the Erding Clinic, where he started as chief internal physician in 1995.
Emslander could have had a great career - he was offered a professorship at the Charité in Berlin, the largest hospital in the republic.
But he preferred little Erding to be closer to his parents, who lived in Landshut, and also to his brother.
Emslander was also born in Landshut on October 14, 1948.
There he completed his high school diploma in 1968 and went to study medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, where he received his doctorate in 1979.
He worked as an assistant doctor in Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen before moving to the Großhadern Clinic in 1975 and four years later to the Rechts der Isar Clinic.
Emslander went out into the country in 1995 when he took up a newly created position as chief physician.
He set up a stroke unit on Bajuwarenstrasse, and the cardiac catheter laboratory also bears his signature.
Ten years ago he handed the department over to private lecturer Dr.
Lorenz Bott-Flügel, who followed him shortly afterwards as medical director and remains so today.
Throughout his life, Emslander was not only a restless doctor, he always maintained a certain distance from the juggernaut of healthcare.
“The pressure is getting greater and greater,” he stated more than a decade ago.
The situation has deteriorated dramatically since then.
And Emslander was a doctor at a time when the district hospital at the time even made a small profit from time to time.
He made a sentence that should be written on the foreheads of politicians and hospital company bosses: “A hospital is not primarily a business and should not be equated with a car factory with a repair order.
The patient is not our customer, but the client entrusted to us, for whom we have to care and stand up,” he said in his farewell speech.
As a father of two himself, he always cared about young people and regularly informed them at schools about the consequences of binge drinking.
In 2012, Emslander suffered a stroke at work, from which he recovered well.
In his private life he had an alpine pasture in the Tegernsee Valley and enjoyed traveling.
The requiem will take place this Thursday at 3 p.m. in the parish church of St. Johannes in Erding.
The burial will take place in the family circle.
