German:
Der Arzt Adolf Kußmaul führte 1867 die Magenpumpe ein und behandelte mit ihr Verengungen des Magenausgangs. Mit einem (noch) unflexiblen Castroskopi nahm er 1868 bei einem Schwenschlucker die erste Magenspiegelung von. Der vielseitige Arzt war auch ein begabter Poet. Er schuf zusammen mit Ludwig Eichrodt die Figur des Schulmeisters Gottfried Biedermaier, der einer ganzen Epoche den Namen gab.

English Translation:
The doctor Adolf Kussmaul introduced the stomach pump in 1867 and used it to treat narrowing of the stomach outlet. With a (still) inflexible Castroscope, he performed the first gastroscopy on a swallower in 1868. The versatile doctor was also a gifted poet. Together with Ludwig Eichrodt, he created the figure of the schoolmaster Gottfried Biedermaier, who gave the name to an entire era.
