The pathway through life of the German psychiatrist and neurologist Alfred Hauptmann (1881 - 1948) and his work is described. It is exemplary for so many of his contemporaries of Jewish origin, who were forced to emigrate under the National Socialist dictatorship. Hauptmann's career was most of all marked by the short, but to him formative time with Max Nonne. Throughout his life his research focused on neurological topics. In 1926, Hauptmann got the chair of psychiatry at Halle University in order to continue the important neurological tradition of Eduard Hitzig, Carl Wernicke and Gabriel Anton. Until 1935, he worked as the director of the psychiatric clinic in Halle, but in the course of the Reichsbürgergesetz he had to give up his chair and his work as a doctor. The way into emigration, which was accelerated by the temporary imprisonment in the concentration camp Dachau, is described considering personal documents. After his emigration into the United States, Hauptmann was not too successful in starting new as a scientist. His most important contribution is still the article on the efficacy of Phenobarbital as an antiepileptic, which had been written already in 1912. For this reason, the Alfred-Hauptmann-Award for epilepsy research is awarded. In 1941 - after his emigration - he and Siegfried Joseph Thannhauser described the autosomal dominantly transmitted myopathy for the first time, which is today described as Hauptmann-Thannhauser myodystrophy. The name of Alfred Hauptmann should be unforgettable not only because of the entrance into medical nomenclature, but it should also remind of the man Alfred Hauptmann, standing for all those whose similar fates are still unknown until now.
本文描述了德国精神病学家兼神经学家阿尔弗雷德·豪普特曼（1881 - 1948）的人生轨迹及其著作。他的经历对于众多犹太裔同时代人具有典型意义，这些人在纳粹独裁统治下被迫流亡。豪普特曼的职业生涯主要因与马克斯·诺内相处的短暂却具有决定性的时光而被铭记。他一生的研究都集中在神经学领域。1926年，豪普特曼获得哈雷大学精神病学教授职位，以延续爱德华·希齐格、卡尔·韦尼克和加布里埃尔·安东的重要神经学传统。直到1935年，他一直担任哈雷精神病诊所主任，但根据《帝国公民法》，他不得不放弃教授职位和医生工作。文中结合个人文件描述了他因被关押在达豪集中营而加速的流亡之路。移民美国后，豪普特曼作为科学家重新起步并不太成功。他最重要的贡献仍是1912年撰写的关于苯巴比妥作为抗癫痫药物疗效的文章。正因如此，设立了阿尔弗雷德·豪普特曼癫痫研究奖。1941年——在他移民之后——他与西格弗里德·约瑟夫·坦豪泽首次描述了常染色体显性遗传的肌病，即如今所称的豪普特曼 - 坦豪泽型肌营养不良症。阿尔弗雷德·豪普特曼这个名字不应仅仅因为进入医学术语而被遗忘，还应让人想起阿尔弗雷德·豪普特曼本人，他代表着所有那些命运至今仍不为人知的人。
