Johann August Ephraim Goeze (born May 28, 1731 in Aschersleben , † June 27, 1793 in Quedlinburg ) was a German pastor and zoologist.

Life

Goeze studied theology at the University of Halle from 1747 to 1751 . From 1755 he was a theologian in Quedlinburg, from 1762 as pastor at the St. Blasii Church in Quedlinburg. In 1786 he became court deacon at the collegiate church .

He is the brother of the Lutheran theologian Johann Melchior Goeze (1717–1786).

In 1772 he discovered the tardigrades (Tardigrada). In his 1782 published work, attempt on a natural history of the intestinal worms of animal bodies , he described the scolices in the cysts of animals, and was the first zoologist to compare them with the "heads" of adult tapeworms. In doing so, he laid one of the foundations for the discovery, which other researchers only gained decades later, that tapeworms go through a development cycle with a change of host, and that some cysts in organs of animals and humans are caused by tapeworms, the echinococci .

The name Goeze is printed as "Götze" on some works and is therefore often quoted in this form (eg on volumes 2-3 of the "Treatises on the History of Insects").

The city of Quedlinburg named a street in his honor as Goezestraße.
