In 1888, Rosin became a full professor at the Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg. His teaching activities covered a wide area: In addition to German legal history and German private law , he taught general political theory, constitutional law and administrative law. Social security law was added later . His seminars in this field were famous. His work increasingly focused on public law and then on social insurance.

It was Rosin who brought the newly created social legislation into a precise legal form with his great work "The Law of Workers' Insurance " (Vol. I 1892, Vol. II 1905).

Rosin worked at the University of Freiburg for over 40 years, including as rector. He has standardized and reformulated the university's legislation, which has grown over generations.

And at the trade unions he organized “popular lecture courses”.

In 1925 a celebratory speaker ruled: Rosin's research results are used as a matter of course in literature and jurisprudence and without naming the author as applicable law, as one sings the folk song without thinking of the poet.
