German-speaking doctors, city by city

Where these came from

These come from 66 different sources, led by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (104), a German diplomatic mission (88) and a German diplomatic mission (55). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why German turns up in 62 countries rather than only where German is spoken.

670 of the 674 sit on an official list; the rest rest on the provider saying so or on a directory listing, and each card says which.

Where we have nothing

We list doctors in 290 further cities with no German speaker recorded, among them Hamburg (3724), Graz (581), Takamatsu (122) and Kagoshima (102). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in German.

Questions

How many German-speaking doctors does this page list?

674, in 113 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.

Where are most of them?

Athens with 88, Zagreb with 25 and Tokyo with 24. Together that is 20% of the page.

Does a listing mean the doctor speaks German personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include a German speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.

All 403 cities where we list doctors, whatever the language.
