Life and work

He graduated from high school in 1903 in Braunschweig. Then in the same year Nühsmann entered the Kaiser Wilhelms Academy for military medical education in Berlin. In the same year he received military training on foot with the 4th Guards Regiment . In 1908 he was appointed junior doctor and posted to the Charité for further training.

This was followed by a doctorate with a thesis on techniques for surgery in the abdominal cavity, Talma-Drummond-Murchison's operation for ascites , to doctor medicinae .

After the end of the First World War , Nühsmann came to the University of Halle , where he completed his habilitation as assistant to Alfred Denkers in 1921 in the field of ear, nose and throat medicine. From 1926 to 1934, as chief physician, he headed the ENT medicine clinic in Dortmund . Without the involvement of the medical faculty, he was then appointed full professor and director of the University Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in Bonn in 1934.
