[Dr. Friedrich Keesbacher (1831-1901) ; a Tyrolean physician practicing in Slovenia. On the occasion of his 170th birthday and 100th anniversary of his death].

With his exceptional personality, his wide knowledge and expertise, his social involvement and his generous spirit, Dr. Friedrich Keesbacher left an indelible mark on Ljubljana and Carniola. His life and work, his medical career in Ljubljana, his teaching and research work, and his involvement in both public health and health organisation are described in this jubilee commemoration. Beyond that, he was also a great connoisseur and lover of music, writing about both it and the philharmonic association of Ljubljana. He was an eminently learned and socially involved doctor of his time.
