The opening of the Higher Institute of Agriculture (Ankara Yüksek Ziraat
Enstitüsü) in 1933 in Ankara, and that of Istanbul University the same year
following the Atatürk’s University Reformation were two major events having
significant impact on Turkish education and science. The aim in establishing
both institutions was to introduce the scientific methods of the new century into
Turkey. European scholars were recruited to both institutions for this purpose.
Though most of the appointed academicians were from Germany. Almost all of
the scientists arriving at the Istanbul University were those discharged from
their posts in German universities. On the other hand, scholars nominated by the
Reich held professorships in the Higher Institute of Agriculture in Ankara.
Thus, while scholars worked as emigrants in Istanbul. Others worked as
representatives of German universities in Ankara from 1933 until early 1940s.
There were, however, four émigré scientists in the Higher Institute of
Agriculture at Ankara: The geologists Wilhelm Salomon-Calvi and Max
Pfannenstiel, the chemist Otto Gerngross, and the botanist Hans Bremer. All
four contributed to the Turkish agriculture and geology as researchers,
professors or/and advisers in Higher Institute of Agriculture and other Turkish
governmental institutions.
