Life
Eberle was born in Buch as the son of school teacher Peter Eberle (1764-1834) and his wife, midwife Maria Anna Flatz (1764-1834).

After completing his studies, he mainly dealt with digestive processes. He found that the spleen is not involved in digestive processes and that digestive enzymes from the pancreas break down starches and fats . In 1834 he published the monograph Physiology of Digestion . From 1832 Eberle worked as a general practitioner in Würzburg. In 1834, less than a year after his parents, Eberle died of "breast disease" (probably tuberculosis ).
