title: [Hugo Sellheim (1871-1936): Leipzig acknowledgement of gynecology].
abstract: In 1928 Hugo Sellheim, Professor and Chairman of gynaecology and obstetrics at the University of Leipzig (1926-1936), inaugurated the new Clinic of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. The opening ceremony found a critical public response. Although the new building had been drawn up by his predecessor Walter Stoeckel, Sellheim developed own ideas concerning the equipment of the institution. In Leipzig Sellheim is continued his scientific efforts with a story focus on female reproduction and its sociocultural impact during the period of the Weimar Republic.
