He worked there until 1896, when he received a chair in Leiden, in 1903 he moved to Erlangen, and in 1904 to Halle, where he remained until his death. From his rich literary and scientific legacy, the Handbuch der Gynakologie (Wiesbaden, V. I-III, 1897-1899, 3rd edition is currently being published in a new revision under the editorship of Stoeckel) is particularly significant. Of his scientific ideas, the valuable and fruitful idea of F. "about the deportation of villi" (more accurately their epithelial covering) into the mother's circulatory system remains important. In Russian translation, the following have been published: Diagnostika zhenskikh bolezney (St. Petersburg, 1892; also Moscow, 1893), Lechenie zhenskikh bolezney (St. Petersburg, 1913).
