Vier Jahrhunderte – bis ins 18. Jahrhundert – wütete die Pest. Wieder und wieder. Allein zwischen 1347 und 1352 erlagen rund 30% der europäischen Bevölkerung der Infektionskrankheit, was einer Gesamtzahl von 18 Millionen Menschen entsprechen dürfte.
Die wirtschaftliche Situation vieler Überlebender verbesserte sich jedoch. Da die Bevölkerung schrumpfte, wurden Arbeitskräfte knapp. Die Überlebenden erkannten den Wert ihrer Arbeit, forderten höhere Löhne und bessere Arbeitsbedingungen. Handwerker und Landarbeiter waren gefragte Leute, ihr Selbstbewusstsein stieg. Immer wieder kam es zu Zunftaufständen, Handwerker forderten mehr Mitspracherechte.
Öl:
Sage: der Name der Angelika soll auf den
Erzengel Gabriel zurück gehen, der, als in Europa im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert
die Pest wütete, sehr vielen
Menschen im Traum erschienen sein soll
und der ihnen die Angelika zur Heilung empfohlen haben soll. Die Menschen
setzten den Rat des Erzengels
um, da sie damals gläubig waren, und
tatsächlich schien das Angelikaöl auch geholfen zu haben, wie man an Geschehen
in Mailand im Jahre 1510
sehen kann: Die Menschen griffen dort
überwiegend auf Arzneien und Mittel aus Angelika zurück und sie scheinen damit
sehr erfolgreich gewesen zu
sein, wie der allseits bekannte Arzt Paracelsus
überliefert hat. Angeblich soll die Angelika während der Pestepidemie im
Mittelalter von den Menschen
gekaut worden sein, damit sie sich nicht anstecken. Zudem wurde Angelika verräuchert, um die Luft zu desinfizieren, Krankheitserreger abzutöten.
ZEIT-ONLINE
Was ist die Pest?
Was eine Infektion mit Bakterien anrichten kann – dafür ist die Pest ein historisches Beispiel. Fast 30 Millionen Menschen starben im Mittelalter an ihr. Dass sie ausgerottet
sei, ist ein Irrglaube.
Nicht nur in Ländern mit mangelnder Gesundheitsversorgung, auch in den USA tritt sie weiterhin auf. In den Jahren 2010 bis 2015 registrierte die WHO 3.248 Pest-Fälle, darunter 584 Tote. Weitere Fälle, etwa aus Madagaskar in den Jahren 2016 und 2017 noch nicht eingerechnet.
Bliebe die Infektion unbehandelt, sterben 30 bis 60% der Infizierten daran, im Fall der Lungenpest sogar nahezu alle. Da Antibiotika gegen das Bakterium wirken, kann die Pest, rechtzeitig erkannt, gut behandelt werden.
Quellen: WHO/CDC
Lungenpest
Wer sich die Pest einfängt, bekommt bestenfalls ein bisschen Husten und Schnupfen, etwas Fieber und fühlt sich erkältet und ziemlich schlapp. Schlimmstenfalls entwickelt der Infizierte eine lebensbedrohliche Lungenpest. Die endet dann nicht nur in 95% aller Fälle tödlich, sondern ist auch von Mensch zu Mensch sehr ansteckend.
Beulenpest
Eine weitere Form ist die Beulenpest. Dabei schwellen rund um die Bissstellen der Flöhe -der Überträger des Pest-Bakteriums- die Lymphknoten und bahnen des Patienten an. Sehr hohes Fieber, Symptome wie bei einer schweren echten Grippe folgen. Fast jeder Zweite, der so eine schwere Beulenpest bekommt, bekommt eine schwere Blutvergiftung (Sepsis), die Organe versagen und er ist nach einem bis zwei Tagen tot.

Der Inbegriff der Seuche: die Pest. Sie wird vom Bakterium Yersinia pestis ausgelöst, das in Nagetieren wie Ratten vorkommt und von Flöhen auf den Menschen übertragen wird. Die bekannteste Form ist die Beulenpest - unbehandelt sterben an ihr ein bis zwei Drittel aller Erkrankten. Greift das Bakterium die Lunge an, kommt es zur noch tödlicheren Lungenpest. Dann drohen sich Menschen auch gegenseitig über Tröpfcheninfektion anzustecken.
Aufgrund der hohen Sterblichkeit haben die drei großen Pest-Pandemien der Menschheitsgeschichte dramatisch hohe Opferzahlen gefordert: Heraus sticht die als Schwarzer Tod bekannte Pandemie in den Jahren 1346 bis 1353. In Europa tötete sie womöglich ein bis zwei Drittel der damaligen Bevölkerung. Eine weitere große Pest-Pandemie war die Justinianische Pest im Jahr 541, die letzte große Infektionswelle tobte im Jahr 1855, vor allem in Asien.
Wie endete die Pandemie?
Wie ist der Status heute?
Da das Pest-Bakterium in Tieren heimisch ist, taucht es bis heute immer wieder auch bei Menschen auf, vor allem in ländlichen Gebieten Afrikas, Asiens und Amerikas.
Im Südwesten der USA kommt es hin und wieder zu Infektionen durch Präriehunde. Mittlerweile arbeiten die Universität Oxford und Astrazeneca an einem neuen
Impfstoff, der die Bevölkerung in Risikogebieten schützen soll.

Latin expressions "pestis" and "pestillentia", as
also the Greek word "o loimos", mean the same - plague, dying, death,
contagion. The Czech word "mor" has the same root
as "mreni" dying and "smrt", death. One of forms of
plague received an all-telling nickname - Black Death.
There are many historical records about plague, even from Ancient Greece
and Rome but the first confirmed epidemy of plague came to Europe in 1347.
During the siege
of the city of Kaffa the Tartars threw with catapults into the city
corpses of people who died on a new, unknown disease which came from the East.
The disease then spread rapidly throughout
Europe. The results of the first epidemy were horrible - about one half
of the inhabitants of Europe died but in some cities only every tenth survived.
According to some historical records, about 25.000.000 to 46.000 000 people
died. Ancient historian speaks about 10.000 people dying during one day in
Constantinopole. Then many other epidemies continued. The last epidemy was in
Manguria in 1910 (pulmonary form with 100% mortality).
Although a lot of effort was done to avoid or to fight the disease, the
course was the same. Treated the best possible way or not treated at all,
everybody died. Plague was fair to all, it killed the beggars and the kings.
There was only one way of survival - running away. But it supported the spread
of the disease. As the cause of disease, the rotten air and water came into
consideration. Some enlightened people
found the connection between the ill and the dead rats and the disease.
"If dead rats are found on the streets, the plague is approaching."
But many people thought the disease had come because of their sins. It is even
written in the Apocalypse "And I looked, and there was a pale green horse.
The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following him. Authority was
given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the
sword/famine/plague/wild animals of the Earth. " (Re 6:8). It sometimes
led to a religious fanatism. The flagellants appeared - people who tortured
themselves with whips as an expression of their repentance. The worst was when
people considered some minority, usually Jews, to be responsible for the
disease. The pogroms often followed. Sometimes, from fear of the disease, still
living ill people were burnt in their own houses.
After the epidemy finished, the social structures were destroyed. There
was nobody who would have worked in the fields, domestic animals ran away.
Wolves came from
the forests. Most of the surviving people had serious complications of
the disease, many months were necessary for full recovery. There was nobody who
could help them.
The robbers took what was still left.
Here is a description of the epidemy in Florence in 1347:
"The plague was everywhere. Nearly in every house there was
somebody who was ill. The doctors refused to examine the patients because of
the fear of contagion, and if
some of them, after receiving a huge sum of gold, came to the patient,
dressed in a long black coat and a mask with aromatic herbs, he only examined
his pulse, reversing
his face. But most of them fled from the city as the first ... Even the
closest relatives of patients left them because of fear. They told them they
would go for help but they
did not return. And if he asked them not to leave because he had a fear
to stay alone, they waited until he fell asleep and then they left. Son left
his mother, brother his sister, husband his wife. And if the patient felt
better the next morning he found himself alone. And he was so weak that he could
not call anybody. And even if somebody heard
the weak voice of the ill, who would dare to come to the plague
house? ... At the very beginning dead
people were buried at the cemetry but then there were too many.
A huge grave was dug next to the church. People called
"vultures" walked during the night through the city and loaded the
corpses on carriages. In the morning the layer of dead bodies was covered with
earth and the following night a new layer of corpses was laid. During the
epidemy, from March to October 96.000 people died in Florence."
