He attended the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium and the Polytechnic School in Stuttgart and completed an apprenticeship with a forest ranger before studying forestry and political science in Tübingen and obtaining his doctorate. Another year of study in Hohenheim and a job at the Tübingen Forestry Office rounded off his training. In 1842 he got a job at the agricultural and forestry institute in Grand-Jouan in Brittany , which he did not take up until 1844, when he had acquired the appropriate language skills. In Grand-Jouan he taught forest sciences and mineralogy and wrote his work Memoires sur les essences forestières de la Bretagne . In 1845 Julius Simon von Nördlinger applied for his son at the University of Hohenheim for the position of second forest teacher, which Hermann von Nördlinger also received. From autumn 1845 he taught in Hohenheim. One of the results of his research in these years was the book The technical properties of wood, for forest and construction officials, technologists and tradespeople in 1860 . In 1855, after a long break due to illness, he became the first professor in Hohenheim. He first used the Plattenhardt teaching area and later the Hohenheim teaching area for his investigations and wrote numerous publications. The Württemberg Forest Association was founded in 1876, and Hermann von Nördlinger was president for 16 years. In 1881 forest science lessons were moved back to the University of Tübingen. Nördlinger taught there after his retirement until 1891.
