CDV, Ernst Philipp Karl Lange (21 December 1813 - 20 February 1899) was a German novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Philipp Galen.

He was born at Potsdam, studied medicine at Berlin (1835–1840), and on taking his degree, in 1840, entered the Prussian army as a surgeon. In this capacity, he saw service in the Schleswig-Holstein campaign of 1849, where he was in charge of a field hospital. He settled at Bielefeld as medical practitioner and here issued his first novel, Der Inselkonig (1852, 3rd ed., 1858), which enjoyed considerable popularity. In Bielefeld he continued to work at his profession and to write, until his retirement, with the rank of Oberstabsarzt (surgeon-general), to Potsdam in 1878, where he died.



Philipp Galen, eigentlich Ernst Philipp Karl Lange (* 21. Dezember 1813 in Potsdam; † 18. Februar 1899 ebenda) war ein deutscher Schriftsteller und Arzt. Sein Pseudonym entstand, als sein Roman Der Inselkönig ohne Autorisierung und ohne sein Wissen unter dem Namen Galen (ein Spiel mit den Buchstaben seines Namens) erschien; fortan behielt er diesen Namen als Schriftsteller bei.
