Life

In 1844, Röding, as senior citizen, received this invitation card for the opening of the new Jewish temple

Friedrich Röding was the son of the Hamburg teacher and poet Johann Heinrich Röding (1732–1800). In the course of his life he held numerous offices: at the age of 25, he was appointed inspector for flour purchases by the city council, later captain of the vigilante, hospital manager and senior citizen. From 1804 until his death he ran his own museum for objects from nature and art .

The natural scientist lived in Hamburg and was the main author of a catalog published in 1798 about the important mollusc collection of the Hamburg city physicist Joachim Friedrich Bolten, who died in 1796 . The catalog was published under the heading Museum Boltenianum sive Catalogus cimeliorum e tribus regnis naturae. Pars secunda contens Conchylia… and was published in Hamburg. It is a sales catalog and was ignored until William Healey Dall realized in 1915 that it contained new valid taxa , albeit with long names and only brief descriptions. That is why Röding himself coined many species names. The other descriptions (often simply the German rendering of the Latin nomenclature ) are the species described earlier, including a. by Johann Hieronymus Chemnitz , Friedrich Wilhelm Martini and Martin Lister , and refer to already existing descriptions and illustrations that underline the authenticity of these names, as they are clearly recognizable. Röding's descriptions were later adopted by many authors.

The name Peter Friedrich Röding was occasionally mentioned in connection with announcements of auctions or in directories / auction catalogs, since he was called in by the auctioneers as a specialist in determining artefacts.

Röding was married three times. The son Johann Friedrich Wilhelm (1793–1871) and a daughter Catharina Wilhelmine (1796–1848) survived from their first marriage. In his second marriage, he married Anna Catharina Cropp (1769-1807) in 1802. Her father was Friedrich Ludwig Christian Cropp (1718–1796), from whose estate auction numerous natural objects and art objects for the museum came. In his third marriage he married the widow Hanna Agatha Seip.

From 1805 he was a member of the Masonic Lodge Absalom to the three nettles and from 1824 to 1829 its master of the chair .
