Live and act

His father was Joseph Marie Oberthür (1872–1956), who was also a doctor, but also an animal painter. His mother's name was Marie Henriette Céleste Oberthür nee. Fayol (1876-1924). Henri Joseph Oberthür was the second child from this marriage. He had two sisters named Anne Marie (1896–1980) and Geneviève Vévette (1912–1992) and a brother named André (1906–1985). He was also a grandson of the lepidopterist Charles Oberthür (1845-1924) and the great-nephew of the coleopterologist René Oberthür (1852-1944), whose beetle collection was bought by the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (MNHN).

Since 1913 he was a member of the Société zoologique de France . At that time he lived at 46, rue Molitor in Paris. In 1915 he became a candidate for the Saint-Cyr Military School because of the First World War . Finally, a year later, he became a candidate for the 54th Infantry Regiment . After the war, he began studying medicine in 1919. His dissertation from 1921 was entitled La gastrectomie dans l'ulcère de l'estomac et du duodénum .

In 1925 Oberthür married Renée Louise Charlotte Antoine Carlioz (1904–2002) with whom he fathered the children Françoise (1927–), Dominique (1930–), Regis François Henri (1932–) and Jean-Paul (1937–).

In 1926 he became a member of the Société nationale d'acclimatation de France and lived at 2, rue Boileau in Paris.

Henri Oberthür was an honorary surgeon at the Saint Joseph Hospital in Paris, honorary member of the Académie de Chirurgie , attaché of the entomological laboratory of the MNHN and in 1967 became president of the Société entomologique de France . He joined this society as a member in 1944.

Influenced by his ancestors, he was also considered an excellent entomologist and researched butterflies for more than 40 years. In this area he was not limited to the territory of France, but also to the countries of Switzerland, Spain and Morocco.

After his retirement he worked with the museum's laboratory in particular on researching the owl butterflies from the Palearctic , an area in which he was very familiar. He bequeathed his very interesting and well-preserved collection, which consisted of more than a hundred boxes, to the museum.
