Life

Ernst Zeller was the son of the physician and first director of the Winnental Sanatorium Albert Zeller and his wife Marie (1807–1847), née Reimer, daughter of the Berlin publisher Georg Reimer . The first Oberamtmann of the Oberamt Heilbronn Johann Friedrich Zeller was his grandfather.

Ernst Zeller attended the Latin school in Winnenden and Marbach and the Upper School in Stuttgart, studied 1850-1853 medicine at the University of Tübingen and was in 1854 Hubert von Luschka in Tübingen with his dissertation on a Alveolarcolloid liver doctorate . After spending about a year with his grandparents in Berlin, he became an assistant doctor to Maximilian Jacobi in the Siegburg insane asylum . From 1857 to 1862 he worked as an independent head of the insane department of the Thurgau cantonal hospital in Münsterlingen near Konstanz , where he was deployed as a Württemberg military doctor in the fortified hospital in Ulm during the mobilization in the summer of 1859. In 1862 he switched to his father's assistant at the Winnental Sanatorium, where, after his father's death on December 23, 1877, he succeeded him as the independent director of the institute and subsequently worked until his retirement in 1900 .

In order to familiarize himself with the biology of parasites and to work on parasitic flukes , he had set up numerous aquariums in the premises of the Winnentaler Schloss, in which he bred various aquatic animals as host animals for research purposes. Some of the drawings he made for his zoological work were included in the relevant zoological textbooks of the time. Ernst Zeller also contributed to the panels of his research area on the blackboards by Rudolf Leuckart and Hinrich Nitsche , which were created between 1877 and 1892 and on which various authors depicted representatives of the animal kingdom in great detail. He placed a second focus on the processing of amphibians, where he was in an intensive scientific exchange with the zoologist Willy Wolterstorff , who was active as curator and previously as conservator at the Museum of Natural History and Prehistory Magdeburg .

Ernst Zeller became a member of the Association for Patriotic Natural History in Württemberg in 1869 .

On January 6, 1879 he was registered under the registration number. In 2209 elected member of the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in the Zoology and Anatomy Section .

Ernst Zeller, who was appointed Medical Councilor in 1876 and Chief Medical Officer in 1896, received the Cross of Honor of the Wuerttemberg Crown Order when he retired in 1900 , with which the staff nobility was associated at the time .

He had been married to his cousin and sister-in-law Emma, ​​née Reimer, the daughter of the Berlin Medical Councilor Reimer, since 1886. The couple had a son.
