He studied medicine in Kraków and Vienna, earning his medical doctorate in 1877. At the University of Vienna, he was a student of epidemiologist Anton Drasche.[1] Beginning in 1880, he spent several years as an assistant to Heinrich von Bamberger in Vienna,[2] afterwards being named primary physician at the Rudolfspital (1889). In 1893 he became a full professor and director of the second medical clinic in Vienna.[3]
He specialized in disorders of the blood, circulatory system, liver and adrenal glands,[3] and was considered an excellent diagnostician. In 1892, the Neusserplatz in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus (15th District of Vienna) was named in his honor,[4] and in 1905 he was elevated to Austrian nobility.[5]
