Eponym
Professor Dr. Karl Dammann, born 1839 in Greifswald, was director of the University of Veterinary Medicine from 1881 to 1912. Since a rectorate constitution was introduced in 1913, Dammann was the last director of the TiHo. Under Dammann, the university received the right to award doctorates. The at that time new building at the Bischofsholer Damm ground and the moving were also carried out under Dammann in 1899.
