Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The statement in Schrader (lit.) that Niemyer published his observations on Asian cholera in 1831 as an extract from his travel report submitted to the state government, is based on a confusion with Niemeyer's brother, the district physician Carl Eduard Niemeyer (born April 13, 1792 in Halle; † December 13, 1837 in Magdeburg), see his biography .
