Life

He went to high school in his home town from 1851. He received his medical training in Würzburg and Breslau , where Friedrich Theodor von Frerichs referred him to dentistry. The Breslau doctor Leopold Auerbach , from whom he met his future wife , also had a greater influence . In 1856 he received his doctorate. The following year he married Bertha Hess and went with her to the Orange Free State , where relatives of his wife - the Mosenthal family - were already living.

In 1865 the family returned to Germany and he practiced in Berlin. There he also turned to dentistry, which he learned in London, among other places. From 1866 he published numerous articles about his time in South Africa.

In 1878 the physician was given the title of professor in Halle, but not a paid professorship. He lived from his medical practice until his death. In 1880 the university presented a study program in dentistry. It was not until 1883 that Germany's first university dental clinic was built in two rooms.
