[Development and responsibilities of clinical obstetrics and gyne- cology in the 19th century at the Greifswald University--a contribu- tion on the 110 year existence of the clinic of gynecology and obstetrics].

At the university of Greifswald clinical obstetrics developed at the beginning of the 19th century with priority for education of physicians and midwives. For further support of education in the middle of the century an obstetrical outpatients' department has been founded. Approximately at the same time gynaecological diseases were treated in both institutes so that the teaching combination obstetrics and gynaecology gradually came into existence and medical attendance and scientific work became more importance. There was a similar process at other German universities in the last century.
