Historians of medicine: can you recommend good scholarly literature on fellow Rheinländer and economic migrant Joseph Pilates from Mönchengladbach?
Vielleicht weiß @tobiasweidner.bsky.social was?
If anyone can recommend good literature and is not a historian of medicine, that would be welcome, too.
I can't quite place who, but think there was some work (and certainly a lot of local buzz) around Pilates and Knockaloe, the internment camp on the Isle of Man. Beyond Pilates, Knockaloe seems to have been a bit of a centre for different therapies (Quakers involved, oc)
Ha, never knew that. Mönchengladbach, who'd have thought it!
