At this time he was also appointed Ducal Coburg-Gothaschen court dentist.

Rottenstein was active in Paris from 1864 at the latest: Theodor Leber , who studied in Paris between 1864 and 1867, met Rottenstein there at a meeting of the Association of German Doctors in Paris.

From 1864 to 1870 Rottenstein was the last librarian of the Association of German Doctors in Paris and, among other things, was responsible for transporting the books to Germany. On December 19, 1879 , he was accepted into the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . In 1880 he published the “ Traité d'anesthésie chirurgicale ” in Paris before emigrating to America.

Rottenstein was married to Friederike Untzelmann von Franscky from Düsseldorf , who was accepted as a citizen in Frankfurt on July 5, 1858.
