Gustav Oertle studied at the University of Tübingen and was established in 1928 with a thesis on "The presence of fish in the Triassic Wuerttemberg" in Tübingen doctorate .

After his time as an assistant at the Institute for Geology and Paleontology at the University of Tübingen, Gustav Ortle went to school, became a study assessor in Schwäbisch Hall and then from 1921 to 1934 a teacher of natural sciences at the Backnang secondary school (now a grammar school). Later he worked again in Schwäbisch Hall and most recently as senior director of studies in Stuttgart.

He donated most of his collection to the Stuttgart Natural History Museum and the Tübingen Institute for Geology and Paleontology.
