Life

He came from the South Tyrolean noble family von Hohenbühel , originally from Hohenbühl near Terenten , from the 14th century under the name Heufler in Rasen , from 1642 in Prissian and from around 1750 in Eppan (there from 1807 until today on the Gleifheim manor ) became resident.

Hohenbühel studied law in Innsbruck and Vienna from 1835 and was then a civil servant in Trento and from 1846 to 1849 district commissioner in Istria . In 1849 he came to the Ministry of Commerce and in 1850 to the Ministry of Culture and in 1850 was entrusted with the reorganization of the schools in Transylvania. In 1865 he was appointed baron. In 1871 he became President of the Central Statistical Commission, but had to retire early in 1872 due to a mental illness. At times he lived in a mental hospital and most recently in Hall, where he committed suicide in 1885.

Hohenbühel published on many topics (geography and regional studies, politics, history, genealogy, the history of literature in Tyrol, teaching, statistics, heraldry) and wrote and published poems. He is best known as a botanist who mainly dealt with ferns, mosses and mushrooms. He also dealt with plant geography (comparisons of the flora in South Tyrol and North Tyrol), the flora on the border of Carinthia and Styria and the flora of Tyrol. He left his notes on the flora of Tyrol to Franz von Hausmann , who evaluated them in his book.

From 1838 he headed the natural science department at the Ferdinandeum with Michael Stotter and later the botany department. He was active in the Zoological-Botanical Society of Vienna, gave many lectures there and was vice-president several times. In 1855 he became a member of the Leopoldina .
