Life
Ludwig Ferdinand Herbst, the son of the master shoemaker Johann Peter Herbst (1773-1858), attended the Johanneum School of Academics from 1824 to 1831 and the Academic High School in Hamburg from 1831 to 1832 .

After graduating as Dr. phil. in Berlin in 1835 he returned to Hamburg and taught from April 1 at the Johanneum Realschule, initially as an assistant teacher, from 1837 as a collaborator and from 1840 as a full teacher. On April 1, 1851, he was transferred to the Johanneum School of Academics as a professor and remained there until his retirement (Easter 1876).
Herbst occupied himself with the history of Thucydides all his life . He published essays on his style and textual criticism, the sum of which he worked out in retirement. Some of his studies were published by the Quedlinburg high school teacher Franz Müller only after his death.
