In 1895 he received his doctorate in Heidelberg . In Heidelberg he worked as an assistant at the surgical clinic at Vincenz Czerny , then at the gynecological clinic in Berlin with Robert Michaelis von Olshausen and until 1900 as a ship's doctor at Norddeutscher Lloyd . 1901–03 Zangemeister spent at the gynecological clinic in Leipzig under Paul Zweifel . From 1904 he was an assistant at the gynecological clinic in Königsberg with Georg Winter (1856–1946). In 1908 he received his habilitation in obstetrics and gynecology .

From 1925 until his sudden death he was full professor at the University of Königsberg .

During his career, Zangemeister dealt with cystoscopy , obstetric anatomy and genital infections. During his work on obstetric operations, he developed several instruments such as the Zangenmeister ax-pull pliers or the Braun-Zangemeister decapitation hook .

Zangemeister handles

He developed the Zangemeister handle named after him ( English Zangemeister maneuver ), also known as the 5th Leopold handle , to determine a disproportion between the pelvis and the previous child. The Zangemeister grip is used after the onset of labor. One hand is placed on the child's head in the pelvic entrance and the other hand on the pubic symphysis. If the skull is behind the pubic symphysis, there is probably no disproportion.

The maneuver for correcting a facial position to a occipital position, also known as the Zangenmeister handle , is less well known .

family

The ENT doctor Hans Zangemeister (1907–1970) was his son.
