Anton Friedrich Hohl

Anton Friedrich Hohl (17 November 1789–23 January 1862) was a German professor of obstetrics born in Lobenstein.

In 1827 he obtained his medical doctorate at Halle an der Saale with a dissertation on microcephaly.

This thesis was based on a specimen from the teratological collection of Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833).

Hohl published numerous works in the field of obstetrics, including an influential textbook titled Lehrbuch der Geburtshülfe mit Einschluss der geburtshülflichen Operationen und der gerichtlichen Geburtshülfe.

Earlier in his career he provided a description for design of a fetal stethoscope (1834).
