Short Description: "Karl Gustav Himly (30 April 1772 – 22 March 1837) was a German surgeon and ophthalmologist from Braunschweig.

He studied medicine at the University of Würzburg under Karl Kaspar von Siebold (1736–1807), and at the University of Göttingen with August Gottlieb Richter (1742–1812). In 1795 he became a professor at the hospital in Braunschweig, and in 1801 succeeded Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland (1762–1836) as professor of medicine at the hospital in Jena.

From 1803 he was a professor of surgery at the University of Göttingen, where he worked with Konrad Johann Martin Langenbeck (1776–1851), and his former teacher, August Richter. In 1809, Himly was instrumental in establishing a new hospital in Göttingen. Among his better known students were Karl Friedrich Heusinger (1792–1883), Christian Georg Theodor Ruete (1810–1867) and Friedrich August von Ammon (1799–1861)." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
