Like his younger brother Johannes Ranke (1836–1916), who taught anthropology at the University of Munich from 1869 , he was a nephew of the historian Leopold von Ranke .

During his studies in Erlangen he became a member of the Bubenreuther fraternity in the winter semester of 1847/48 . In 1851 Ranke received his doctorate from the chemist Eugen von Gorup-Besánez (1817–1878) in Erlangen on the subject of physiological-chemical studies of the behavior of some organic substances in the human organism, along with experiments on the diuretic effects of several drugs. From 1853 to 1858 he worked as a doctor at the German Hospital in London and during the Crimean War in Smyrna and the Crimea . Ranke then studied pediatrics in London. In 1859 he completed his habilitation in pediatrics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and later taught in this medical field. In 1866 he became head of the Pediatric Polyclinic at the Reisingerianum . The private lecturer Carl Seitz succeeded him in the children's outpatient clinic in 1890. In 1886 Ranke became the first director of the newly created university children's clinic, the Dr. von Haunersches Children's Hospital in Lindwurmstrasse . In 1905 he was retired.
