At the beginning of the 1870s, non-academic surgeons were finally banished from officially accepted medical practice in Württemberg - the last German Land in which they had still been recognized. As contemporary reports by barber-surgeons make clear, they had agreed to the elimination of their handiwork - in the hope of winning thereby generous "terms of transition" for the remaining practitioners of their trade. The fact is that in this point, too, barber-surgeons - at least for the most part - had but little success, clearly put them on the losing side in political conflict of professional interests.
19世纪70年代初，非学术性外科医生最终被逐出符腾堡官方认可的医疗行业——他们在德国最后一个仍被认可的邦国。正如理发师外科医生的当代报道所明确指出的，他们同意放弃自己的手艺，希望借此为该行业的剩余从业者赢得慷慨的“过渡条件”。事实上，在这一点上，理发师外科医生——至少在很大程度上——也几乎没有成功，这清楚地表明他们在职业利益的政治冲突中处于失利一方。
