Life

Joachim Steetz was the son of the sugar manufacturer Zimbert Joachim Steetz (1765–1847) and his wife Anna Maria Schroedter. He went to school in Hamburg at the Johanneum and the Academic Gymnasium . In April 1825 he began studying medicine in Halle and went to Würzburg in autumn 1826 . In 1829 he submitted his doctoral thesis in surgery. From around 1830 he worked as a surgeon and obstetrician in Hamburg. Joachim Steetz married Johanna Henriette Möller on July 23, 1842. In 1849 he succeeded Johann Rudolph Sickmann (1779–1849) as an assistant at the botanical garden . With this position lectures and determinations of plants were connected. In 1857 he was accepted into the Imperial Leopoldino-Carolinian German Academy of Natural Scientists as JE Smith (after James Edward Smith ). He was a member of numerous scientific and research associations. Joachim Steetz was a member of the Commission of the Natural History Museum.

He owned a herbarium with around 5,000 different plants. After his death it came to Melbourne via Ferdinand von Müller . Theodor Siemssen (1816–1886) arranged the sale of the collection . He ran a successful trading company in Hamburg and was Joachim Steetz's brother-in-law. His sister Emilie had married the doctor and older brother Friedrich Christian August Siemssen in 1835.
