Life

Zinn attended schools in Kaiserslautern and Zweibrücken . First he studied at the Aschaffenburg Forestry University , where he became a member of the Corps Hubertia in 1845 . After completing his studies, he became a forest officer, but had to flee to Switzerland in 1849 as a supporter of the political movement of 1848/1849 . There he studied medicine at the University of Zurich . In 1853 he became an assistant doctor at the Zurich Cantonal Hospital and the Asylum, trained with Christian Friedrich Wilhelm Roller in Illenau , Vienna and Prague and was a general practitioner in Thalwil near Zurich from 1858 to 1864 . From 1864 to 1872 he was director and first doctor of the St. Gallic mental hospital St. Pirminsberg. As a result, he was granted honorary citizenship of the city and canton of St. Gallen in 1867 "in recognition of his achievements in the field of psychiatry and public health care" . From 1872 he was a member of the board of directors of the Association of German Insane Doctors. In 1872, Zinn became the director and chief physician of the state mental institution in Eberswalde. The Martin Gropius Hospital emerged from the institution, where the street “Dr.-Zinn-Weg” commemorates the doctor.

From 1874 to 1881 he was a member of the German Reichstag for the constituency Pfalz 6 (Kaiserslautern, Kirchheimbolanden ) and belonged to changing parliamentary groups. In the course of the second legislative period he resigned from the faction of the Progressive Party, joined the Löwe-Berger group in 1877 and, after its dissolution, the Liberal Group.
