Sudhoff taught for years at the University of Leipzig, where he founded the Institute for the History of Medicine and exercised strong control over the direction of German medical history. He also established the journal Archiv für Geschichte der Medizin, later renamed Sudhoffs Archiv, and the monograph series Studien zur Geschichte der Medizin.
