Dietrich Nietzel
Dietrich Nietzel (* 1703 in Hamburg ; † shortly before, or on September 27, 1756 in Uppsala ) was a German gardener.
Live and act
Nietzel worked as a gardener in Lower Saxony and Southampton, England, before moving to Holland. Here he was hired by George Clifford to look after his garden in Hartekamp . From 1735 to 1737 he worked there with Carl von Linné , who was employed there as a private botanist. In 1739 Linnaeus offered him the post of chief gardener of the Old Botanical Garden at Uppsala University . Nietzel accepted and spent the rest of his life in Uppsala, where the gardens thrived under his care. Nietzel helped Linnaeus publish a list of 3,000 plants that were grown there. After Nietzel's death in September 1756, he died of an infection, the gardens fell into disrepair because Linnaeus could not find a suitable successor. Since his wife suffered from dementia - “ Periit Hortulanus meus; reliquit stultam uxorem, et filium valde juvenem 10 annorum […]. ubi nunc Hortulanum reperiam? "(German:" My gardener died; leaving behind his feeble-minded wife and a 10-year-old daughter [...]. Where can I find a gardener? ") His daughter lived in Linnaeus' house for some time.
