He then completed his training until 1922 at the Rostock women's clinic under Otto Claudius Sarwey . The fondness for pathological anatomy and histology awakened by Jores soon drew him to the problems of cyclical changes in the female genitals, and this is how his classic histological work on the relationship between the ovary and endometrium and the first edition of his textbook on gynecology emerged . In 1914 he was appointed private lecturer and senior physician . In 1919 he was appointed adjunct professor .

The “septic department” on the north side was completed in 1922, and in 1931 an increase in the central building to accommodate the midwifery students was achieved. Harald Siebke was a doctoral student and student .

His research results were reflected in numerous papers, lectures, presentations, monographic studies and textbooks.
