from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Philipp Albrecht Freiherr von Herzeele (born June 23, 1821 probably on Gut Vietgest , Rostock district ; † unknown) was a German natural scientist and specialist book author.

Life

He came from the Van Herzeele family , a family that originally came from Cologne and settled in Antwerp , and was the son of Colonel Cornelius Freiherr von Herzeele († 1830), heir and court lord of the Vietgest estates (since 1819), Nienhagen and Reinshagen (all three today districts of Lalendorf ) and Schwiggerow (today district of Hoppenrade ), all in the Rostock district, and his wife Therese von Lindenau .

Herzeele studied medicine from 1841 to 1842 at the University of Geneva and from 1843 to 1846 at the Humboldt University in Berlin . In 1849 he published his play Marquis Pombal in Berlin . Later he lived and worked in Hanover .

In 1873 he published the work The Origin of Inorganic Substances . The sentence comes from him: "The soil does not produce the plant, but the plant produces the soil."

Herzeele made several hundred attempts from 1875 to 1883 which convinced him of the possibility of biological transmutations .
