Proeryon hartmanni

Ernst Gustav Friedrich von Hartmann (born November 27, 1767 in Stuttgart , † November 11, 1851 in Göppingen ) was a German doctor and naturalist ( paleontologist ).

He was the son of the court and domain councilor in Stuttgart Johann Georg Hartmann . He has a PhD in medicine. In 1792 he settled down as a doctor in Göppingen , where he became a city doctor and public health officer, and finally from 1818 a senior official doctor . There he fought a typhus epidemic that broke out among Russian prisoners of war and saw to it that a hospital was built, which was opened in 1829.

He was a fossil collector. The fossilized Jurassic pen shell Pinna hartmanni VON ZIETEN 1833 and the fossil crab ( Polychelidae ) Proeryon hartmanni ( v. MEYER , 1836) are named in his honor. Some of his collection came to the Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart, and he sold other collections to the university collections in Leiden and Tübingen (1846, after Wolf von Engelhardt and Helmut Hölder, however, hardly anything was preserved there and otherwise mostly lost), to Haarlem and to Natural History London Museum. His fossil collection was partly the basis of the work Die Versteinerungen von Württemberg (1830–1834) by Karl Hartwig von Zieten , the overview of the fossils of Württemberg by CF Stahl (1824). Hartmann's son, who later became the senior medical officer in Sulz and Reutlingen, Friedrich Hartmann (1806–1890), also used the collection as the basis for his book Die Versteinerungen Württembergs, with excellent consideration for those around Boll (Tübingen 1830). Georg Friedrich von Jäger described the fossil reptiles in Hartmann's collections .

In 1834 he was elected a member (matriculation no. 1388) of the Leopoldina with the academic surname Knorrius II . In 1842 he became an honorary citizen of Göppingen. In 1794 he married Luise Hagmaier.

He had a sister and five brothers. His brother Wilhelm Hartmann (1770–1823) was a senior doctor in Backnang , botanist and entomologist, Ferdinand Hartmann (1774–1842) history painter and professor in Dresden, Johann Georg August von Hartmann State Councilor and President of the Chamber of Accounts in Württemberg and Ludwig von Hartmann an entrepreneur.
