Horst Klinkmann (born 7 May 1935) is a German professor for Internal medicine and Nephrology (kidney related medicine).[1] A principal focus of his research is in the area of major medical implants. Between 1990 and 1992 he served, in succession to Werner Scheler, as the final president of the (East) German Academy of Sciences.[2]
In 1992 he was relieved of his professorship at Rostock University[3] "on account of personality defects" ("wegen mangelnder persönl. Eignung").[2] There is a view, to which he himself subscribes, that after 1990 his career suffered from the perception that he had been too close to the political establishment in East Germany.[4]
