Biographical sketches of some dental practitioners in Germany at the end of the eighteenth century.

These biographies include those of well-qualified surgeons as well as those with limited theoretical knowledge. Some enjoyed a very comfortable living, were highly literate, producing weighty tomes whilst others were grossly ignorant and could barely scrape a living. They all practised at a time of great change, in both medical care and in society itself.

Germany between 1780 and 1810.

A study of the relationships between the nobility, townsfolk, artisans and those living in rural areas, as well as the legislation that binds them together, are important for the understanding of dental treatments needed and/or requested by all of these groups. Education, literacy, citizenship, religious tolerance (or the lack of it) are also analysed in this chapter which provides a relevant background to the subsequent studies on German dental practice.
