[A protestant pastor as the pioneer of emergency medicine : Sebastianus Albinus published the first emergency manual 400 years ago].
In 1588 Sebastian Weiß, the son of a miller, became the first Lutheran pastor of Dittersbach in Saxony. At home he had repeatedly witnessed successful resuscitation of drowned persons by means of simple measures by his parents. ⋯ This Kurtze Bericht und Handgrieff (Brief report and handgrip) attracted great attention amongst physicians, especially the reprint of 1675 of which a few copies still exist. The first printed edition from 1620 was lost until, some years ago, the apparently only still existing copy was rediscovered in the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel.
