Eugen Hirschfeld (22 January 1866 – 18 June 1946) was a medical practitioner, and member of the Queensland Legislative Council. ==Early life== Hirschfeld was born in January of 1866 at Milicz, Silesia, Prussia, to Julius Hirschfeld, banker, and his wife Joanna (née Lvervey). He went to school in Breslau and then graduated from Strasbourg University in 1887. He took his Staatsexamen one year later, and graduated as an M.D. in 1889 for research on eye pigmentation.〔(Hirschfeld, Eugen (1866–1946) ) — Australian Dictionary of Biography. Retrieved 4 April 2015.〕〔 Arriving in Brisbane in July 1890 and registered to practice a month later, he became deeply involved in the medical and scientific aspect of Queensland and honorary bacteriologist to the Brisbane Hospital, specializing in tuberculosis. In 1895, he wrote a paper on the need for compulsory inspection of meat to help eradicate tuberculosis 'in man and beast'.〔 Hirschfeld became a naturalized Australian in 1893 and, believing that dual nationality was possible, enrolled himself at the consulate as a German citizen to comply with German regulations. He was a leading figure in the German community, and 1906 he was appointed Imperial German Consul in Brisbane. In consultation with Governor William MacGregor, he founded a society for the propagation of German language and culture.〔 In 1911, Hirschfeld became a founding senator of the Queensland University and was admitted M.D. ad eund. A year later he travelled overseas to represent the university at a congress in London. While away, he studied tuberculosis and cancer treatment methods for the government as a member of the Queensland Medical Board.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eugen Hirschfeld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
