Blumröder graduated from the Aegidianum Gymnasium in Nuremberg (today Melanchthon Gymnasium Nuremberg ). From 1820 he studied at the University of Erlangen first theology and became a member of burschenschaftlich dominated fraternity Concordia Erlangen , in 1821 he became co-founders of the Corps Bavaria Erlangen . However, he switched to medicine in Erlangen and Würzburg in 1820 , with Johann Lukas Schönlein there among others . After his doctorate in 1826 as Dr. med. With the work "De hypnoticis" and his state examination in 1827, Blumröder received further scientific training from 1828 in the hospitals in Berlin, Vienna and Paris and various "lunatic asylums". In 1828 he became a poor doctor and hospital doctor in Hersbruck . In 1835 he became a court doctor in Kirchenlamitz in the Fichtelgebirge. He published a number of essays on psychiatry and, in 1836, his main work Ueber das Irreseyn, or anthropological-psychiatric principles . He also emerged as co-editor of the Blätter für Psychiatrie (with Johann Baptist Friedreich ; Erlangen 1837–1838) and as a reviewer of medical literature.

In addition to his scientific and medical work, Blumröder was also active in literature under various pseudonyms: He wrote a novel with the title Morano. A novel from the papers of Baron Dn. (1823, 2nd edition 1834) as well as the comedy Shakspeare's Affe, or Leben und Lieben (1841) and Ein Preislustspiel (1842; can no longer be found!). In 1838 twelve entertaining lectures on the art of eating were published , which have been published several times up to the present day.

In 1848, Blumröder was sent as a member of his district to the national assembly that met in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt . After its dissolution in May 1849, Blumröder returned to Kirchenlamitz. In August of the same year he was arrested because of his participation in the "rump parliament". He remained in prison for four months for high treason and was then no longer allowed to work as a court doctor. In 1850 he was finally retired. Blumröder then moved from Kirchenlamitz back to his native Nuremberg, where he died of pulmonary tuberculosis in 1853.
