Samuel Hahnemann


Samuel Hahnemann grew up in the mid 1700's work as a painter and designer of porcelain with his family in the European town of Meissen. As a young man he stepped out to make a life of his own. He became a translator of English, French, Italian, Greek and Latin. Than to become a teacher of these languages also learned and gaining further proficiency in Arabic,Syriac, Chaldaic and Hebrew.
With in our educational system in America why isn't there that same kind of passion of in leaning another language. With in the growth of immigration in America (legal and illegal) we are forced to learn another language and I think that is why there are not more people trying on their own.

Samuel latter went on to study medicine and from research shows that his educational carrier was shorter than today’s student studying to be a MD. What was it about the education in those and what is it about today has changed? One thing that I can say the changed is the attitude of the student. They don't choose their education path not out of passion but from monetary gain. This might be the reflection of the American health system today. What would Hahnemann think of the health system today?


The life size bronze sculpture and accompanying mosaic were created by Charles Henry Niehaus (1855–1935), an Ohio native of German parentage and graduate of the Royal Academy in Munich. The memorial was dedicated on June 21, 1900. It was re-dedicated on June 21, 2000 by the American Institute of Homeopathy. It can found east of  Scott Circle in Washington DC at the corner of 1500 Road Island Ave. and Massachusetts Ave.
