The gynaecologist Ludwig Fraenkel is known because of his works concerning the endocrine function of the corpus luteum. Moreover he was an important representative of the social gynaecology and sexology during the first decades of this century. His studies in these fields identify Fraenkel as an independent scientist considering for example social living conditions as a cause of gynaecological illnesses. On the other hand he took over problematic positions in eugenics hoping to improve public health. During the Hitler era the Jew Ludwig Fraenkel was dismissed from the directorate of the Women's clinic of the University of Breslau. He left Germany forever.
妇科医生路德维希·弗伦克尔因其关于黄体内分泌功能的著作而闻名。此外，他还是本世纪头几十年社会妇科和性学的重要代表人物。他在这些领域的研究使弗伦克尔成为一位独立的科学家，例如他认为社会生活条件是妇科疾病的一个原因。另一方面，他在优生学方面采取了有问题的立场，希望改善公众健康。在希特勒时代，犹太裔的路德维希·弗伦克尔被布雷斯劳大学妇女诊所的管理层解雇。他永远离开了德国。
