Hermann Stieve (22 May 1886–5 September 1952) was an anatomy professor at the University of Berlin, and Director of the Berlin Institute of Anatomy at the Charité teaching hospital from 1935 to 1952. He conducted studies on the female reproductive system throughout his academic career. Between the years 1943–45 Stieve studied the effect of mental stress on the menstrual cycle. As more and more people were executed under the Nazi regime, among them a rising number of women, some of the victims' bodies were brought to the hospital immediately after execution, where Stieve had their pelvic organs removed for examination. Though his research was methodologically sound and informed the scientific debate of the day, his work benefited from, and thus indirectly supported, the regime's justice system. Allegations that Stieve named the victims' execution dates to coincide with specific points in their menstrual cycles appear to be false. In their 2009 review, Andreas Winkelmann and Udo Schagen conclude that "Stieve was neither a murderer nor a fervent Nazi. Nevertheless, his research results were flawed by their ethical and political context." After the war, the hospital erected a bust of Stieve and named a lecture hall after him. He died from a stroke in 1952 while serving as the institute's director.
