Born in Bietigheim-Bissingen, von Baelz first attended medical school at Tubingen University, but ultimately earned his degree from Leipzig University, reportedly graduating with top marks. He began working as a physician at Leipzig Hospital, and there met [[Sagara Motosada]], the first Japanese to study medicine in Leipzig; as a result of this contact, von Baelz was invited in [[1876]] to join the faculty of the Tokyo School of Medicine. He then remained at the school for over twenty years, both teaching and practicing medicine in Tokyo, until [[1902]].
