About the author
Born in Hirsau on March 11, 1858, Eugen Fröhner studied veterinary medicine in Stuttgart and Munich, then went on to study medicine in Munich and Tübingen, earning a medical doctorate. At just 24, he became a professor at the veterinary school in Stuttgart, and in 1886 he moved to the veterinary college in Berlin, where he later led the veterinary clinic.
Fröhner became known as a major force in German veterinary medicine. He wrote and edited many veterinary textbooks and reference works, and sources credit him as one of the founders of modern veterinary specialist literature. His teaching and writing covered a wide range of subjects, including clinical methods, therapy, toxicology, pathology, and surgery.
He died in Berlin on June 21, 1940. Remembered both as a physician and a veterinarian, Fröhner helped give veterinary medicine a stronger academic and practical foundation at a time when the field was becoming more professional and modern.
