power
Although he was lively drawn to the natural sciences from childhood, family tradition initially stood in the way of embarking on a professional career. Only after completing his law degree, with his father's approval, was he able to start studying medicine and thus, after studying law, which was unsatisfactory for him, strive for the life profession that was appropriate for him. As director of the state women's clinic in Magdeburg, he found a happy and rich opportunity to practice his art, not only as a medical advisor and surgeon, but also as an obstetric teacher.
