Ernst Schweninger, German Physician
Ernst Schweninger (1850-1924) was a German physician who developed the Schweninger method, a reduction of obesity by the restriction of fluids in the diet. He studied medicine at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich where he received his in 1870. His appointment to a chair at Berlin in 1884 against the wishes of the medical faculty was largely due to his successful treatment of Otto von Bismarck for obesity. His method was a modification of the method developed by William Banting. He retired to private life in 1905. He died in 1924 at the age of 73 or 74.
