Biography:
Leo Ritter von Zumbusch was the son of the famous sculptor Caspar Ritter von Zumbusch (1830-1915). He studied in Vienna, and during the years 1898 to 1908 he was a voluntary and assistant working with Edmund von Neusser (1852-1912), Carl Wilhelm Hermann Nothnagel (1841-1905), Ernst Fuchs (1851-1930), Carl Gussenbauer (1842-1903), Moriz Kaposi (1837-1902) and Gustav Riehl (1855-1943). He was habilitated for dermatology and syphilology in 1906, becoming ausserordentlicher Professor in 1912. From 1909 he was head of the Rudolf-Spital.
In 1913 Zumbusch accepted an invitation to become professor extraordinary and head of the university policlinic in Munich. Here he was promoted to director of the department of syphilis and dermatology in 1915, and in 1917 director of the Klinik für Haut- und Geschlechtskrankheiten. In 1922 he was appointed ordinarius.
Leo Ritter von Zumbusch was rector of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München 1932-1933. The Nazis (Nationalsozialistische deutscher Arbeiterpartei) came to power in 1933, and in 1935 Zumbusch was forced to resign his position for political reasons, becoming emeritus.
