[The history of the Bamberg glass factory. An example for medicine and environmental protection in the early 19th century].
The theme is the story of the building and setting in motion of a glass factory in Bamberg between the years 1802-1811. It is an historical example of the problem how to handle industrialization with reference to the ecological consequences. Two german physicians, Andreas Röschlaub and Anton Dorn, were against this project; they realised the possible results to man's health. Röschlaub, through his "Erregungstheorie" especially showed a subtitle understanding of the relationship between organism and its environment. Both presented arguments for moderate industrialization with consideration of influences on the environment.
