Life
Friedrich Laurer was a son of the Bindlach physician Johann Michael Laurer (1766-1813) and his wife Eleonora Dorothea Pohlmann. After the early death of his father, Laurer had to drop out of school and began an apprenticeship as a pharmacist in Wunsiedel . There he met David Heinrich Hoppe , who got him enthusiastic about botany. From 1818 Laurer continued his training in Gefrees . In 1821 he became a member of the Royal Bavarian Botanical Society in Regensburg . In 1836 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .
Laurer made friends with Christian Friedrich Hornschuch , whom he followed to Greifswald to begin studying medicine and natural sciences at the University of Greifswald . In 1830 he received his doctorate and completed his habilitation in the same year as a private lecturer in anatomy and physiology. In 1836 he was appointed associate professor and in 1863 full professor.
He donated his collection of lichens, mosses, flowering plants and drawings to the university in 1862, which handed them over to the State Herbarium in Berlin in 1874. In 1943 this herbarium was almost completely burned, so that only about 100 pieces have survived from his collection.
At the age of 54, Friedrich Laurer married the widow of the Greifswald university bookseller Koch. His wife died in 1858 and the marriage remained childless.
In 1860 Laurer was honored with the Order of the Red Eagle, 4th class .
