I have been here since 1955. I am at home in Alsace from my childhood. Some of my childhood friends were killed during World War II, either in the French army or in the German army. Strasbourg is a border region between France and Germany.

That I write in some detail on Alsace is mainly because Daniel Auguste Rosenstiehl was bom in Strasbourg in 1839, and the early part of his career (1865-1877) was spent in Mulhouse. It was also as an Alsatian that the Paris municipal authorities appointed him, in 1905, to the chair of tinctorial chemistry which they had recently created at the CNAM. Likewise, back in 1882, they had placed Paul Schiitzenberger - also a native of Strasbourg and professor at the Mulhouse school of chemistry - in charge of the EPCI in Paris.
