Johannes Justus Rein

Abstract: Johannes Justus Rein, author of the first modern scientific study of Japan, was Richthofen's successor in the Chair of Geography at Bonn, and held it for 27 years. Born in Raunheim on the Main on 27th January 1835, Rein became a schoolteacher on completion of his studies and was active in the Senckenberg Nature Research Society in Frankfurt. He spent two years as tutor in the household of the Governer of the Bermuda Islands. A research trip in the service of the Prussian government took him to Japan in the years 1873-75. Apart from a series of individual publications, the fruit of these researches was his life-work 'Japan, from travel and study' which appeared in two large volumes in 1881 and 1886, almost immediately appearing in an English translation. Rein taught in Marburg from 1876 to 1883. As Professor of Geography in Bonn, he encompassed from 1883 to 1910 a multi-faceted and successful teaching career. In addition, he accepted a Chair of Commodities at the newly founded Trade.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1540
