Hubert von Grashey


Hubert von Grashey was a German psychiatrist born in Grönenbach. He was son-in-law to psychiatrist Bernhard von Gudden.
He studied medicine at the Universities of Würzburg, Vienna and Berlin, earning his doctorate in 1867. Following graduation he worked under Gudden at the "Kreis-Irrenanstalt" in Werneck. Later he was appointed director of the Kreis-Irrenanstalt-Deggendorf, and in 1884 succeeded Franz von Rinecker as director of the mental hospital at Würzburg.
After the death of his father-in-law in 1886, he relocated to Munich, becoming head of the Upper Bavarian Kreis-Irrenanstalt. In 1896 he replaced Joseph von Kerschensteiner in the Ministry, subsequently becoming chief medical officer and chair of the Bavarian Obermedizinalausschuss.
