Nüsperli was the son of the Kirchberg pastor Jakob Nüsperli , who was known as a supporter of philanthropic endeavors and as a politician during the Helvetic era .

Nüsperli grew up with six siblings and also became a theologian. He taught in the teachers' association of Aarau and from 1830 to 1832 in Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg's school for the poor in Hofwil . Afterwards Nüsperli was pastor in Rothenfluh . When he was voted out as such in 1937, Nüsperli was working as a district teacher in Waldenburg and started a natural history collection. Since Nüsperli and the first rector of the school H. Hochdörfer, a Protestant pastor from Bavaria , had tangible disputes, Hochdörfer was dismissed from the new school for lack of collegiality.

Together with his brother-in-law Heinrich Zschokke , Nüsperli played a decisive role in the “Volksbildungsverein” of the Canton of Basel-Landschaft . When Zschokke moved to Kulm in 1945, the association dissolved. In 1848 Nüsperli and like-minded people founded the cantonal teachers' association in which he was elected president. On February 11, 1849, Nüsperli suggested a "gathering of Swiss primary school men" in Bad Bubendorf , which should take place in Lenzburg . Chaired by Augustin Keller , in the wake establishing the Swiss Teachers Association .

From 1854 to 1861 Nüsperli was a schoolmaster in Böckten and, at the age of 53, was elected secretary of the cantonal finance department. Between 1863 and 1867, he organized the Basel landscape archives as part of his job. In addition, at the teachers' meeting of 1862, Nüsperli suggested a historical and geographical local history of Baselland , which he subsequently led as editor-in-chief. For his services, Nüsperli was awarded a silver cup and a "cup song" by Emil Zschokke from the Swiss Teachers' Association .

Nüsperli retired from civil service in 1970 and lived with his wife Anna Barbara, née Grundbacher, on the Erlenhof near Thürnen . Her second oldest son was Edmund Nüsperli . Another brother-in-law of Nüsperli was Ernst August Evers .
