He served as a private lecturer and senior physician from 1914 to 1916 in the First World War . He was awarded the Iron Cross . In 1918 the University of Jena appointed him associate professor for surgery .

On the way home from the clinic, he suffered a femoral neck fracture in a bicycle fall , which was followed by a fatal pulmonary artery embolism .

By the age of only 41, Eden had made significant contributions to clinical and scientific surgery. The Eden-Hybinette plastic for stabilizing anterior shoulder dislocations is still famous today, even if it has been displaced by soft tissue surgery . Eden had used the procedure for the first time in Jena on April 25, 1917, ten days before his Stockholm colleague S. Hybinette .

“This is how a very hopeful life ends, a wonderful person, an excellent surgeon, researcher and teacher. Losing my clinic is hard. But it also affects all of German surgery, which had one of their best disciples in him. "
