Life
Wigand studied in Marburg and had been a member of the Corps Teutonia since 1840 . He later became an honorary philistine of the pharmaceutical and natural science association “Pharmacia”, the forerunner of today's Hasso-Borussia Marburg country team . Wigand received his doctorate in Jena in 1846 and was then director of the Botanical Garden and the Pharmaceutical Institute in Marburg, where he became an associate professor in 1851 and a full professor in 1861 . His branches of research were morphology , teratology , anatomy and physiology . Despite a number of false assumptions, he was respected in professional circles, above all for his works: Foundation of Plant Entatology (1850) and A Series of Observations on Educational Deviations from the Plant Kingdom (1854). As a deeply devout Christian, he contradicted Darwin's teaching and laid out his point of view in the work: Darwinism and Newton's and Cuvier’s natural research (3 volumes, 1874-77).
Wigand, usually called Albert Wigand in the literature , gave numerous first descriptions of fungi and algae, for example he was the first to describe the slime mold Hemitrichia abietina (1863, as Trichia abietina ) and the diatom Cocconeis radiata .
The German artist Albert Wigand was his grandson.
