Life

Ernst Voges was born in Heisede in 1854 as the son of a farmer and railway official. In his youth he attended the local village school and from 1865 went to a private school in Sarstedt for two years . After another year at the village school, he received private lessons again, this time from the village pastor. At the age of 16, he switched to the preparation institute in Burgdorf for six months . He then began to study natural sciences at the Polytechnic in Hanover and briefly joined a local team . However, the studies took him in his quest for scientific knowledge not particularly ahead, which is why he is in self-study on the grammar school prepared and was finally added to the prima of the grammar school in Hanover in 1872, where he in 1874 his university gained. This was followed by a degree in natural sciences at the Georg-August University in Göttingen , where he joined the association and later fraternity of Holzminda in 1877 . After receiving his doctorate in 1878, he became an assistant at the Zoological Institute for a short time. Following his military service in Hanover, which had to be prematurely terminated due to an injury, he worked as a writer. He wrote, among other things, in Westermann's monthly magazine , the Leipziger Illustrierte Zeitung , in Vom Fels zum Meer , in the Kölner Zeitung , in the Frankfurter Zeitung , in the Hannoversche Courier and in the Weser-Zeitung . As a rapporteur, he traveled to Holland , Denmark , Sweden and Norway . In 1888 Voges took over the editing of the Hannoversche Tageblatt and later joined the editorial team of the Hannoversche Courier. In 1904 he moved back to his home village Heisede, but remained a freelancer. In the years that followed, however, he mainly devoted himself to scientific studies - especially myriapod studies and phytopathological examinations - and published in various scientific journals. He later moved to Hanover, where he died in 1932.
