Ludolph Brauer (1865-1951) played an influential role in the history of aviation medicine in Germany. The Treaty of Versailles had put a stop to the development of German aviation and associated medical activities at the end of World War I. Brauer deserves credit for restarting civilian aviation medicine in Germany in the 1920s, paving the way for it to flourish in the 1930s. As Medical Director of the Hamburg-Eppendorf General Hospital, Brauer established the first German Institute of Aviation Medicine (GIAM) in 1927 in affiliation with the Tuberculosis Research Institute with its two large pneumatic chambers. The GIAM was active in altitude research and the selection of pilots, as well as educating medical students in aviation medicine, training Aviation Medical Examiners, and exploring clinical applications of hypobaric and climatic therapy. Brauer was forced to retire in 1934 for political reasons as the GIAM came under the influence of the military; in 1939 it was made part of the Aeromedical Research Institute of the "Reichsluftfahrt" Ministry. Brauer was a co-editor of the journal Luftfahrtmedizin in the 1930s and 1940s. He died in Munich on November 25th, 1951.
路德维希·布劳尔（1865 - 1951）在德国航空医学史上发挥了重要作用。第一次世界大战结束时，《凡尔赛条约》终止了德国航空及相关医学活动的发展。布劳尔在20世纪20年代重启德国民用航空医学，为其在30年代的蓬勃发展铺平了道路，值得称赞。作为汉堡-埃彭多夫综合医院的医务主任，布劳尔于1927年与拥有两个大型气压舱的结核病研究所合作，成立了德国首个航空医学研究所（GIAM）。该研究所积极开展高空研究、飞行员选拔工作，还对医学生进行航空医学教育，培训航空医学检查员，并探索低压与气候疗法的临床应用。由于军事影响，布劳尔于1934年因政治原因被迫退休；1939年，它成为“帝国航空”部航空医学研究所的一部分。布劳尔在20世纪30年代和40年代担任《航空医学》杂志的联合编辑。他于1951年11月25日在慕尼黑去世。
