Prof. Ludwig Spätling, born on June 21, 1949, in Duisburg, is one of the most renowned German gynecologists of his generation. After studying medicine and obtaining his doctorate in Marburg, he continued his specialist training in Zurich, where he also conducted research in the perinatal physiology laboratory. His academic career took him to the University Women's Clinic at Ruhr University Bochum, where he qualified as a professor in 1988 and was appointed adjunct professor in 1993. In 1997, he took over as head of the Women's Clinic at Fulda Hospital.
His scientific work focused primarily on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of premature births. In the process, he developed internationally used procedures such as pulsatile bolus tocolysis and magnesium substitution during pregnancy. He also optimized surgical suture techniques to control life-threatening bleeding after childbirth.
In addition to his university work, Spätling became involved early on in imparting knowledge to families and founded the German Family Foundation in 2000. He is a member of the Frankfurt Future Council and published the handbook “Geburts- und Familienvorbereitung” (Birth and Family Preparation) in 2020.
An optimal supply of minerals like magnesium is essential for health and well-being – yet numerous studies show that many of us have some form of magnesium deficiency. But what are the factors that may indicate a magnesium shortfall? How can you optimise your own magnesium supply? And what things should you bear in mind when taking supplements? We put these questions to Prof. Emer. Ludwig Spätling, whose own research focus is gynaecology, emphasised the importance of magnesium for a smooth pregnancy with minimal risk of complications, among other things, in an interview.
