Julius Schreiber

Julius Schreiber (28 February 1848 in Schrimm – 18 September 1932 in Königsberg) was a German internist.

In 1875 he received his medical doctorate from the University of Königsberg, obtaining his habilitation for internal medicine two years later as a student of Bernhard Naunyn. In 1878 he worked as assistant under Carl Ludwig and Julius Cohnheim at the University of Leipzig.[1] In 1883 he became an associate professor at Königsberg, where in 1886 he was named director of the medical polyclinic. In 1921 he became a full professor at the University of Königsberg.[2]

He was known for his construction of endoscopic instruments that included an early esophagoscope.[2][3] Among his numerous written efforts were a treatise on the swallowing mechanism, titled "Ueber den Schluckmechanismus" and a work on brain pressure that he co-authored with Dr. Naunyn, "Über Gehirndruck" (1881).[1]
