CONTRIBUTIONS TO GERMAN-JAPANESE MEDICAL RELATIONS

Alexander Kast

Abstract

Carl Troester (1856-1928), a Royal Prussian veterinary surgeon, was sent to Tokyo
to teach Japanese students veterinary medicine at the Agricultural Faculty. The language
of instruction was English. The course comprised 36 hours per week. He was
acknowledged by his students and on dismissal in 1883, he was received by the Tenno.
His later carrier at the Military Veterinary Academy in Berlin earned him the position
of a brigadier and university professor.
