Life

After working as a pharmacist's assistant, Siebert studied pharmacy at the University of Marburg , where he passed the state examination in 1856. He then worked as a pharmacist in Fronhausen (Lahn) . In 1869 he bought the Marburg university pharmacy “Zum Schwan”; he was then officially appointed "University Pharmacist" in 1870. In addition to his work as a pharmacist, Siebert traded in study materials for pharmacy students. He was active in numerous professional organizations and in his old days was considered the nestor of German pharmacy.

Siebert was politically active in the National Liberal Party and was active for many years in the Marburg local politics as a city councilor and deputy mayor from 1884 to 1889 and from 1894 to 1904. From 1898 to 1904 he was one of the most influential members of the municipal council in Kassel.

In 1856 he was the founder of the Marburg pharmaceutical and natural science association "Pharmacia", which changed its name to Landsmannschaft Hasso-Borussia Marburg in 1891 and grew into one of the largest German student associations.

On April 10, 1865 Siebert was accepted into the Freemason Lodge Ludewig for Loyalty in Gießen. In 1871 he was one of the re-founders of the Marburg lodge Marc Aurel zum Flammenden Stern , as its master of the chair he held for many years.
