At the beginning of the 19th century the childless couple Trier gave a plot of land to Leipzig University with the impost of founding a maternity hospital (Accoucheur Institute) and demand to take their family name as clinic name. The institute was erected in 1810 and later (1892) extended as a department of obstetrics and gynecology. The Women's Clinic of the University ("Triersches Institut") developed very favorably through the 19. and 20. century, including the difficult time of national socialism and the years after World War II. This is documented by it's expansion with several enlargements and new buildings. The institution acquired a remarkable national and international reputation due to prominent scientific and clinical results of the famous professors working at the place such as Jörg, Credé, Zweifel, Stoeckel, Sellheim and Robert Schroeder.
