Adam Elias von Siebold (* 5 March 1775 in Würzburg; † 12 June 1828 in Berlin) was a German Gynecologist.

Life

He was the youngest son of Carl Caspar von Siebold (1736−1807). Siebold was professor of anatomy, surgery und midwifery of the University of Würzburg. Unlike his brothers, he originally wanted to become a Merchant, eventually, however, he began to study medicine.

Through his teachings he influenced Johann Christian Stark (1753-1811) in Jena, Friedrich Benjamin Osiander (1759-1822) in Göttingen and later, Johann Lukas Boër (1751–1835) in Wien.

He authored several textbooks and is attributed to the following quote: "Peace and silence, time and patience, respect for nature and the bithgiving woman, and the art of waiting, when Mother Nature rules". [Translation of "Stille und Ruhe, Zeit und Geduld, Achtung der Natur und dem gebärenden Weibe, und der Kunst Achtung, wenn ihre Hülfe die Natur gebietet"]

He died aged 53 of a stomach condition. He was surwived by two sons and four daughters, amongst them the doctor and Zoologist Karl Theodor Ernst von Siebold (1804-1885).
