摘要:Alfons Mermann is best known for establishing the Luisenheim Woechnerinnenasyl (lying-in asylum) at the end of the 19 th century in Mannheim, Baden. The Luisenheim , owing its namesake to the Grand Duchess Luise of Baden (1838-1923), was a significant step forward in the provision of a safe delivery environment for married women of modest means . Mermann used his position as the Luisenheim ’s director to promote both the training of midwives and of obstetricians. This short work explores the lives and families of the physicians associated with the Luisenheim from its inception to the first years under Mermann’s successor, Karl Preller.
