Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
Schultze Bernhard (Bernhard Schultze; 1827-1919), outstanding German obstetrician and gynecologist. He received his medical education in Greifswald and Berlin, where he specialized under Busch. In 1858, he received a professorship in Jena and held it for almost half a century, until 1903. Schultze proposed in 1866 the famous 'rocking' technique for reviving asphyxiated newborns (now rejected by most obstetricians and micropediatricians). Until very recent times, wall charts compiled by Schultze were used in teaching obstetrics almost everywhere. Among other scientific works of Schultze, it is necessary to note the monograph 'Die Pathologie und Therapie der Lageveranderungen der Gebarmutter' (Berlin, 1881). Schultze wrote a widely used textbook for midwives in Germany, which was reprinted 13 times between 1860 and 1904.
