The Medical Careers of Three Generations of the Körmend Grünbaum Family Csilla Keppel The formation of the health service of Körmend, a small market town in the County of Vas, was greatly influenced by the medical activities over several generations of the Grünbaum family. We are able to witness over a century an upward curve of the careers as surgeons of three generations, from the 1830s until 1933. In the 1950s, through a patient-doctor relationship, one of the female members of the family, Baroness Baselli née Ilona Grünbaum, offered in gift the considerable family archives, with its membership certificates, reports, professional recommendations, references and photo album to the founder of the Smidt Museum, the surgeon and head doctor dr. Lajos Smidt. As a descendant of the Jewish German merchants who settled in the 18 th century, Náthán (1805-1869), the first outstanding member of the Grünbaum family, departed from tradition by making surgery his chosen vocation. Of Nathan's sons it was Samu (1844-1928) who carried medicine into the next generation of the family with his freshly-acquired Viennese medical and academic degree. Married into the deeply religious Catholic Kretschma family of Vienna, in 1886 he and his three children took up the Catholic faith and Hungarianised their name from Grünbaum to Gergö. In 1914 Franz Joseph ennobled the famed military head doctor in recognition of his military service, his services to medicine and his charitable deeds and granted him and his descendants the right to use Körmend as a title of nobility. The most talented member of the medical family was dr. Imre Gergő (1877 Körmend-1933 Budapest), who pursued his university studies (1895-1900) in Berlin, Heidelberg and Budapest. He passed every single exam with Hying colours. He served as an assistant alongside the professors Baron Frigyes Korányi and Gyula Dollinger and later worked in the institute of Robert Koch (Germany). Even before the outbreak of the Great War for the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy he had constructed at the request of the Red Cross an automobile with a military x-ray, with the aid of which it became possible to begin healing shot wounds immediately behind the front line. His activities outline his medical excellence. Over the three generations the medical family assimilated and raised the level of Hungarian national culture through their scientific, intellectual and public activities.
