George Julius Engelmann

George Julius Engelmann (July 2, 1847 - November 16, 1903) was an American obstetrician and gynecologist who was a native of St.Louis. He was the son of botanist Georg Engelmann (1809-1884).

In 1867 Engelmann graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, and from 1867 until 1873 he studied medicine in Europe at Berlin, Tubingen, Vienna and Paris. In Tubingen he studied under Felix von Niemeyer (1820-1871) and Victor von Bruns (1812-1883), and in Berlin he had as instructors Bernhard von Langenbeck (1810-1887), Rudolf Virchow (1821-1903) and Friedrich Theodor von Frerichs (1819-1885). In this time period, Engelmann was also a volunteer surgeon during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71).

In 1873 he returned to St. Louis, and later became a professor of gynecology at the St. Louis Post-Graduate School of Medicine, where he attained the Chair of Diseases of Women and Operative Midwifery. Engelmann was also a founding member of the American Gynecological Society. In 1895 he relocated to Boston, and died in Nashua, New Hampshire on November 16, 1903. Among his written works was an important 1882 treatise on the birthing practices of indigenous and primitive people titled "Labor among primitive peoples". Other publications by Engelmann include:
* "The use of electricity in gynecological practice" , St. Louis 1886.
* "History of obstetrics", published by Lea Brothers, 1888.
* "Fundamental principles of gynaecological electro-therapy; application and dosage", Publisher- Al Chatterton, New York 1891.
