While studying medicine, he became a member of the Allemannia Heidelberg fraternity . He then worked for the zoologist August Weismann in Freiburg. In 1869 under Albert Kölliker he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. In 1870 Eimer completed his habilitation in zoology. From 1869 to 1871 he was the zootomy prosector in Würzburg. Eimer became inspector of the Darmstadt Museum and associate professor at the Darmstadt Polytechnic. In 1875 he became professor for zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Tübingen . His research areas included studies of fat absorption, goblet cells, reptile eggs and invertebrates. The so-called Eimer's organs , which were found in moles , were named after him . The single-cell species Eimeria was also named after him . He is also credited for making the term orthogenesis popular. On May 26th, 1879 ( matriculation number 2225 ) he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . He found his final resting place in the Tübingen mountain cemetery .
