Baumgärtner was one of the initiators of the new building for the Freiburg University Clinic and Polyclinic . His writings dealt with pathology, physiology but also religion and poetry, which mostly dealt with topics from the Staufer period .

In Freiburg in 1830 he tried to prove that the splitting of the egg yolk resulted in spherical masses from which the individual parts of the animal develop. This education sphere theory is a forerunner of Theodor Schwann's cell theory .
