Rudolph Schindler




Rudolph Schindler (1888-1968) was a German doctor widely regarded as the "father of [the field of] gastroscopy.[1]

He wrote the textbook "Lehrbuch und Atlas der Gastroskopie" (Textbook and Atlas of Gastroscopy), and between 1928 and 1932 worked, with the Berlin-based technician Georg Wolf, on the development of the first semi-flexible gastroscope. With the rise of the Nazi party he was arrested, and upon his release in 1934 made his way to Chicago, where he worked until 1943. He then settled in California, where he continued his work in gastroenterology until his retirement. He spent his final years in Munich.[1]
