“…His character, his career, and his scientific work aroused general attention during his lifetime and well beyond, ranging from voyeuristic sensation seeking to the direct translation from research to clinical application. The historian Florian Mildenberger has identified rejuvenation and working towards a “cure” for homosexuality as Steinach’s central fields of research [5]. While these two potential practical applications of his work received much public attention during Steinach’s lifetime, his discoveries of hormone action on the brain were pioneering and went unnoticed for 7 decades.…”

This paper reviews the files in the archive of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physiology or Medicine on the Austrian physiologist and pioneering researcher in the emerging fields of urology and sexual medicine: Eugen Steinach (1861-1944). It reconstructs and analyzes why and by whom Steinach was nominated for the Nobel Prize between 1920 and 1938 and discusses the reasons why he never received the award, although the Nobel Committee judged him as prizeworthy. Steinach's Nobel nominee career is extraordinary-not only because of his strong support by renowned international nominators from different scientific and medical disciplines, but also because of the controversial discussions within the Nobel Committee on his achievements, colored by the debates in the international scientific community. The Nobel Prize story adds a new perspective on how contemporary international scholars evaluated Steinach's research on reproduction, "male-making" females, "female-making" males, homosexuality, and the concept of rejuvenation.

Modern sexology was introduced by the Berlin-based Magnus Hirschfeld, who was born 150 years ago. He revolutionized the physician-patient relationship by introducing new terms of sexual behavior. His theory of "sexual in-betweens" paved the way for new concepts in sexual therapy, including hormonal pills in urological practice. Some of his colleagues developed the idea of a rejuvenation of male organism by sterilization. Many urologists had learned this operation in 1920s, which thus unintentionally enabled the National Socialists to quickly implement racial hygiene laws after 1933.
