As one of the first pathologists, Herzog set up a tissue engineering department at his institute . He observed the growth and movement of cells with newly developed time lapse . With his interest in mesenchyme , he gained great importance in the (still young) field of bone tumors .

In 1929 he won the Giessen University for the connection of the new Balneological Institute in Bad Nauheim and the establishment of a chair for balneology . He also made sure that the William G. Kerckhoff Heart Research Institute was built in Bad Nauheim and not affiliated with the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , but with the Hessian State University.
