Johann Zhuber
(1790-1865)
Johann Zhuber (surname also Tschuber, Slovenized: Ivan Čuber; December 8, 1790 – February 26, 1865) was a Carniolan medical doctor.
Life and work
Zhuber was born in Gabrje, the son of Valentin and Apolonia Zhuber. He attended high school in Novo Mesto and Ljubljana (1801–1807), and he then studied philosophy in Zagreb until 1809. He began his medical studies at the central school in Ljubljana (1810/1811) and then continued in Vienna, where he received his doctorate in 1816 with the dissertation De phthisi pulmonali. At the Ljubljana civil hospital, he first worked as a volunteer, and then as an assistant to and the deputy of Anton Jeuniker. From 1819 he was a professor of theoretical and practical medicine, and from 1834 until the medical and surgical institute closed in 1851 he only taught practical medicine. In 1830, he became the head physician at the provincial general hospital and at the Ljubljana psychiatric hospital in Ajdovščina. In 1851, he was appointed director of the Ljubljana charities, and he retired in 1862. He was a member of the Carniolan Savings Bank (from 1828 onward), the Carniola Credit Society (from 1830 onward), the Poor Committee, the Philharmonic Society, the Historical Society, and the Vienna Medical Society. In 1843, he became a Ljubljana city councilman.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Johann Zhuber” as (1790-1865). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as (1790-1865). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18529725. VIAF identifies the subject as 5677154441746735460004. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1790, 1865, 1801 and 1807.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
