Live and act

Ernst Philipp studied medicine at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin from 1912 to 1920 . Due to military service in World War I , he had to interrupt his studies in the meantime. After graduating, he first settled in Wanzleben near Magdeburg as a general practitioner . In his practical work, he repeatedly encountered gaps in his obstetric work. Therefore, in 1921 he decided to do an internship at the l. Women's clinic in Berlin with Ernst Bumm . Here he stayed after the internship and became an assistant. Under Bumm's successor Walter Stoeckel , he completed his habilitation in 1928. This was followed by a twelve-month study stay at Johns Hopkins University in the USA with John Whitridge Williams until 1929 . In 1932 Philipp was appointed senior physician in Berlin and in 1933 associate professor .

In 1933 he joined the SA and the NSDAP . In 1937 he was temporarily head of the lecturers and lecturer association at the University of Greifswald. From 1944 onwards, Philipp was still a member of the scientific advisory board of Karl Brandt's health care representative .

In 1934 he accepted the chair at the University of Greifswald as successor to Hans Runge . Here he set up a hormone laboratory and thus gave the clinic a new profile. He demonstrated the formation of progesterone in the placenta and researched endometriosis . In 1937 he moved from Greifswald to the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel as the successor to Robert Schröder . Here, Philipp and his senior physician and later successor Herbert Huber were responsible for rebuilding the clinic that had been destroyed in World War II. Scientifically, he continued his research on endometriosis.

On April 23, 1953, Ernst Philipp was elected a member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina . In the same year he was elected chairman of the Northwest German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics . From 1960 until his death in 1961 at the age of 68, Philipp was President of the German Society for Gynecology . The congress he had prepared took place in Hamburg in 1962 under the renewed leadership of Gustav Döderlein .

Herbert Huber , Walter Schäfer and Karl Heinrich Wulf were among his most famous students .
