Of Tübingen, he went to the University of Würzburg , where he in 1808 with distinction for Dr. med. received his doctorate . First he looked for a job in Munich in 1809, but was unsuccessful there. After stints in Augsburg and Paris , he was appointed head of the French hospital in Middelburg . In 1812 he took part in the Russian campaign as a military doctor in the French service . From this he returned in 1815. He then went to the battle of Waterloo . There he was captured. Since he was born in Ansbacher from now in Bavarian areas, he was placed in Bavarian services and worked as a military doctor in Saargemünd .
