Anschütz studied human medicine at the Universities of Halle , Marburg and Tübingen , where he received his Dr. med. PhD . After stops in Halle and Dresden , Anschütz became assistant to Johann von Mikulicz in Breslau in 1898 , with whom he qualified as a professor in 1902 with his research on resection of the liver . In Breslau, he arbitrated a brief dispute between his colleague Ferdinand Sauerbruch and Mikulicz after the latter had called “Ferd” Sauerbruch a “impostor”. In 1905 he married Hilda von Mikulicz (1881–1954), the eldest daughter of his boss. The couple had three children: Henriette (1907, pediatrician), Hans Gerhard (1908–1937), August (1917, naval medical officer) and the later internist Felix Anschütz .
