    Hiking

    In the city center of Strasbourg and more particularly on the Place Saint-Thomas, a statue will be erected in 2021 in memory of Albert Schweitzer, liberal pastor and doctor of theology, medicine and philosophy. This statue follows a competition launched by the collective "A statue for Albert Schweitzer". Born in 1875 in Kaysersberg, he studied in Strasbourg.

    What many don't know.

    After graduating from high school in Mühlhausen in 1893, he studied theology and philosophy at the University of Strasbourg and became a vicar at St. Nicholas Church in Strasbourg in 1899.

    It wasn't until 1905 to 1913 that Albert Schweitzer studied medicine in Strasbourg with the goal of working as a missionary doctor in French Equatorial Africa.
