title: [Stories of the scientific travels between Strasbourg and Germany in the 19th century].
abstract: Appeared in the 19th century, the vogue of the scientific travellings and of the medical congresses led numerous physicians to discover the medical institutions of European countries. Many Alsatian physicians went to the discovery of the medicine and of the hospitals in Germany and central Europa, and then published their travel stories. The German physicians were numerous to go to Paris, and some of them went through Strasbourg to study the medical institutions. From various accounts, the view of physicians from Strasbourg of the Germanic medicine and the German view of the medicine in Strasbourg are presented: in both cases, these impressions illustrate the role of a bridge between France and Germany traditionally played by the Faculty of Medicine in Strasbourg.
