Detlef Strathmann

Detlef Strathmann (1941-2001) He financed his medical studies as a medical journalist – including for the Bild newspaper – and thus found his way into the pharmaceutical industry. His subsequent career then led him into advertising. In 1973, he founded the advertising agency Intramed, which is still part of the Strathmann Group today.

At the same time, he recommended the right medications as a mailbox doctor for several magazines. He advised readers of the women’s magazine “Petra” as family doctor Detlef Günther. In the television program “TV Hören und Sehen,” he offered his expert advice as physician Michael Falk, and in the rainbow newspaper “Neue Post,” he gave health tips under the pseudonym Dr. Bertram.

Strathmann reached the pinnacle of his doctorate in the illustrated magazine “Brigitte” when he wrote about the skin disease cellulite in the women’s breviary “Brigitte”: He coined the fruity name “orange peel” for this common female blemish, referring to a medication that he was soon able to offer from his own production.
