Slovenian physician and philanthropist (1840–1905)
Franc Ribnikar (1840-1905) was a Slovene physician. His son Vladislav F. Ribnikar is the founder of Politika.[1]
He was born in 1840 in Senično in Carniola (then Austrian Empire) to father Jernej Ribnikar and mother Marija Ahačič. He studied medicine in Graz, where he obtained a master’s degree in surgery and obstetrics. Then he moved to Hrvatska Kostajnica and there married Milica Srnić.[2] In 1867 he went to Serbia and in 1869 he became an assistant in the district hospital in Kruševac. He then continued his career in Trstenik (1870) and Svilajnac (1873).[2][3] He had three sons with Marija: the eldest was the famous journalist Vladislav, the founder of Politika;[4][5] then, Slobodan, also a physician and journalist; the third was Davorin Darko, a Politika correspondent killed in battle on the front against the Austrian Army in the World War I.[6]
Franc Ribnikar participated in the Serbian–Ottoman Wars.[2] In 1882, he received his doctorate in medicine in Zurich, where he was appointed director of the district hospital in Jagodina. In 1888, he received Serbian citizenship and moved to Belgrade, a city where he would practice as a doctor until his death in 1905 at the age of 67.[2][7]
