[Berolina iubilans: Berlin physicians as Halle doctoral candidates (V). Marcus Herz (1747-1803) and Berlin Jewish physicians].

A number of Jewish medical students from Berlin went in for the formalities for taking a doctor's degree at Halle university in the 18th century. Among them there were several physician-personalities whose names are held in high esteem in the history of medicine up to now. In particular Marcus Herz who graduated in Halle in 1774 came into prominence by outstanding achievements in teaching and research. Under his management at that time a whole generation of Jewish medical students in the Jewish hospital found the occasion to a practice-relevant preacademic education.
