Johann Jakob Fried
Johann Jakob Fried (21 April 1689, Strasbourg – 3 September 1769, Strasbourg) was a German obstetrician. He is sometimes referred to as the "Father of German midwifery".[1] His son, Georg Albrecht Fried (1736-1773), was also a noted obstetrician.[2]
In 1710 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Strasbourg with a dissertation thesis titled ""De cordis palpitatione". From 1728 onward, he was director of the Prätor Franz Josef von Klinglin municipal midwifery school in Strasbourg, a popular school that attracted students from throughout Europe. He was considered an excellent teacher,[2] and he played a major role during the advent of scientific obstetrics in Germany.[3] Among his better known pupils was future Göttingen professor, Johann Georg Roederer.[1][2]
