[The physicians of Friedrich von Hardenberg and Sophie von Kühn].
Relatively little is known about the physicians who attended the German writer Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772-1801) and his fiancee Sophie von Kühn (1782-1797) during the years immediately preceding their deaths. An attempt is made here to gather more information about these doctors on the basis of archival and other neglected sources. However, due to the fragmentary nature of the evidence it cannot be determined what, if any, connections exist between the treatment methods of these physicians and Hardenberg's thinking on medicine.
