Live and act
Otto Sarwey was born in Stuttgart as the son of Ernst Otto Claudius Sarwey , a Württemberg politician. He studied medicine at the Universities of Würzburg , Berlin and Tübingen . Here he completed his studies in 1890 and received his doctorate with a dissertation on the castration of women . He worked as an assistant at Ernst von Bergmann's Surgical University Clinic in Berlin, the State Midwifery Institute in Stuttgart and the Tübingen University Women's Clinic under Johann Säxinger and Albert Döderlein . There he completed his habilitation in 1886 with the text The artificial premature birth at Beckenenge , was appointed senior physician and in 1900 was appointed professor.
In 1906 Otto Sarwey accepted a position as successor to Friedrich Schatz on the chair for gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Rostock . He was responsible for the management of the university women's clinic and the midwifery school. Hans Runge and Robert Schröder were among his students .
Sarwey was considered conservative in his operative work and devoted himself more to gynecology than obstetrics. Although he was a member of the Academic Society Stuttgardia and in 1911 and 1927 chairman of the Northwest German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics, he was considered more of a practitioner who withdrew from scientific associations and meetings. His scientific activity was more receptive. He published mostly reviews in manuals with an emphasis on practical aspects. He was seen as an opponent of excessive publication activity. During the years of his professorship at the Rostock University Women's Clinic, he hardly published any of his own work.
In private, Sarwey was considered a lover of music and hunting. Starting with a boil on his face, Otto Sarwey developed a septic metastasis in the sacrum with a breakthrough in the pelvic vein network. From there, generalized sepsis developed , from which Sarwey died on August 31, 1933 at the age of 68. Gustaf Haselhorst was appointed as his successor at the Rostock Clinic .
