Passport, Republic of El Salvador, 1965

Salvador Ernesto Herrador was born on August 3, 1945, in San Salvador. After finishing high school, he wants to study abroad. With the help of a scholarship, he is able to realize this wish in Germany in 1965. From the tropics of Central America, he travels by plane to snowy Hamburg on November 14. Before starting his medical studies in the Hanseatic city, Salvador first takes a German course and attends the study preparation college. Just a week after his arrival, he meets his future wife, Ursula, whom he marries in November 1967. Together they move to Marburg, where their four children are born. In 1980, Salvador is awarded a doctorate in medicine. Initially, the internist works in several clinics in Hesse before opening his own practice in Bremerhaven-Lehe in 1990. In December 2011, Salvador retires and hands over the practice to a friend. For Salvador Herrador, this document and the residence permit contained within it were prerequisites for his entry and studies in Germany.
