Christian Friedrich Ludwig (born May 19, 1757 in Leipzig ; † July 8, 1823 there ) was a German botanist and doctor . His botanical author abbreviation is " CFLudw. "

Life

Christian Friedrich Ludwig was the son of the doctor and botanist Christian Gottlieb Ludwig (1709–1773). In 1772 he began studying at the University of Leipzig . Here he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy and received his doctorate in medicine in 1779 . After he was accepted as an associate professor at the medical faculty in 1779 , he took over the professorship of natural history in 1783. In 1787 he became a rural physician at the Leipzig district office and in 1796 a full professor of pathology.

In 1803 he was appointed as Decemvir at the University of Leipzig, where he became professor of surgery and in 1820 was promoted to the first professorship at the Leipzig University.

Ludwig was more of a man of the world than a profound scholar. He had drawn a lot from his trips to England and Copenhagen. Nevertheless, his collections have given him lasting memory. In addition, he appeared as a botanist as well as through the foundation of the Linnesche Gesellschaft or the Naturforschende Gesellschaft , of which he became a member in 1787. In 1790 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . Ludwig also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig University and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semesters 1801/02 and 1807/08 .
