The Oberhofroßarzt Johann Adam Kersting, a Kurschmied and Oberhofroßarzt from Kassel, was from 1778 to 1784, the first director of the school. Kersting was assisted by August Conrad Havemann, a stud assistant from Celle. Studying at the School Roßarzney took then a year, even though the students often stayed a second year. Since education was not necessary, the students were selected by the director. From about 1814, the compartments cattle medicine, botany, animal diseases, scientific physics and chemistry were included in the curriculum. On August Conrad Havemann followed in 1819 Ulrich Friedrich Hausmann as director of the school, ran it until 1846 and took place with his work at a time when teaching and research even under the most difficult conditions, made ​​a valuable contribution to the further development of the institution. Johann Heinrich Friedrich Günther was from 1847 to 1858 director. Under his leadership, a science-based education has been introduced. From 1859 to 1870 the school director Andreas Christian Gerlach was conducted. He expanded the curriculum considerably and built the school from spatially. He also was able to assert that the high school was set as a preliminary training for the study ahead.

Under the direction of Charles John Dammann, the last director ( 1881-1912 ), was in 1887 the "Royal School of Veterinary Medicine ," written "Royal Thierarzney school," raised by Cabinet Order to college, wrote "Royal thier medical Hochschule Hannover ". 1899, the school was relocated to its still used today on location Bischofsholer dam and the Braunschweiger Platz.

Many problems can be worked in inter-university cooperations or in collaboration with industry. Of particular note are three of the German Research Foundation ( DFG) Collaborative Research Centre ( SFB). Next TiHo is involved in the Excellence Cluster "From Regenerative Biology to Reconstructive Therapy" ( REBIRTH ).

Service

Services include in addition to research and teaching on the core tasks of TiHo. Patient care in the six clinics TiHo is complemented by an outpatient service that focuses on the livestock sector. In addition to the care of patients offer various facilities TiHo to pathological and laboratory diagnostic examinations of submitted samples. Next, biochemical or toxicological analyzes are carried out. In matters of animal welfare and animal husbandry, especially of infectious diseases, scientists are TiHo available for consultation.
