Gotthold Herxheimer converted to the Protestant faith at a young age. In 1891 he became a member of the Strasbourg fraternity Arminia zu Tübingen during his studies . In 1904 he became the first director of the newly founded pathological-anatomical institute at the municipal hospital in Wiesbaden, where he stayed until he was dismissed in 1934 by the National Socialists . He wrote two textbooks that are still valid today and established the institute's outstanding scientific reputation to this day. He died in 1936 of a heart attack in Simon's Town near Cape Town / South Africa . Since 1911 he was married to Gertrude Edle von Poschinger from the Buchenau glassmaker dynasty, which in 1939 again took on her maiden name.
