- On May 27, 1881, the surgeon Albert Sigmund LANDERER (1854-1904) first injected saline into a human being. The introduction of intravenous injection into the clinic was successful in postoperative therapy using a PRAVAZ syringe. LANDERER recommended a technique in which the vein had not previously been exposed by venae-sectio, but was dotted after stasis directly through the intact skin - as the doctor still does today ...

- On October 10, 1881, the same LANDERER had the opportunity to make an infusion of alkaline saline solution on a patient with acute anemia - the first saline infusion in humans!


LANDERER came from Tübingen. From 1879 to 1883 he was an assistant to Carl THIERSCH (1822-1895) at the Leipzig University Hospital.

 



In 1912, the owner of the Hirsch Pharmacy in Frankfurt, dr. Eduard FRESENIUS (1874-1946), his pharmacy laboratory to a pharmaceutical company, which in 1933 separated from the pharmacy (the Nazis did not tolerate the mixture company / pharmacy) and was moved to Bad Homburg. He founded the first "homeopathic society" in Frankfurt ... When the company founder died in 1946, both the pharmacy and the plant, the "Chem. Pharm. Industrie Dr. Fresenius KG", were bought by his general-owner, the pharmacist Else FERNAU (1925- 1988). This young woman had lived as a "foster daughter" in the Fresenius house since her father's death in 1928, had entered the Fresenius pharmacy in 1944 as an intern and had studied pharmacy at the expense of Eduard FRESENIUS, whose marriage had been childless.
After the end of the war, the company was in the red and was full of debt. Of the original 400 employees, 30 were left. Initially, "everyday items" such as the nose ointment "Bormelin" and the cough syrup "Terpinol" were produced.


When FERNAU took over the management of the business in 1951, specialized in injection solutions - her husband, the lawyer Hans Gottfried Noël Kröner (1909-2006), which she married in the 60s, was the main initiator of the 1955 reorientation of the operation.
The increasing number of serious traffic accidents and the increasing numbers of operations in the hospitals, the new anesthesia procedures, in which a venous access was desired, all these innovations in medicine promised a good return ... The bill worked, the company could expand: from 1974 production in St. Wendel in Saarland, from 1979 in Schweinfurt in Lower Franconia, from 1997 in Friedberg in Hesse!



The presented 250ml infusion vial comes from the fundus of the H (aus) -K (nipp) pharmacy in Duisburg and was probably intended as a subcutaneous infusion in the 60s ...
