title: The 'Führerschule' in Alt Rehse: A character school for the physicians of National Socialist Germany.
abstract: This contribution traces the international contacts and impact of the leader school for German doctors ('Führerschule der deutschen Arzteschaft') in Alt Rehse 1935-1943 through studies of a visitors' book and of biographies.We suggest that the 'Föhrerschule', an institution providing political and ideological education for health professionals, interested non-German physicians to a larger extent than earlier described. This paper also highlights a few examples of non-German physicians who, for various reasons, visited the 'Führerschule' in Alt Rehse.
