Life

Wilhelm Nöller (older spelling Noeller) was a son of Emilie, b. Beythan, and Eduard Heinrich Hermann Nöller. In spring 1897 the school enrollment took place in Großliehaben. In 1900 the parents moved with the children to Paulinzella . There he went to school, then switched to a private school in Bad Blankenburg and in 1904 to the secondary school in Rudolstadt . In 1904 the parents bought a farm in Hengelbach and moved there, in whose neighboring parish and parish church Gösselborn Nöller was confirmed in 1905. In 1907 he moved to the Royal High School in Erfurt , where he graduated from high school in 1910 .

From 1910 to 1912 he studied veterinary medicine at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Berlin and then until 1914 at the Royal University of Veterinary Medicine in Munich . Here he was in 1914 with the work of the transfer, the Rattentrypanosomen doctorate . As a veterinary officer, he took part in the First World War and developed a new method to combat mange in horses. In 1920 he completed his habilitation at the Medical Faculty of the University of Hamburg .

Nöller worked from 1919 to 1921 as head of the protozoa department at the Institute for Ship and Tropical Diseases in Hamburg and from 1920 worked as a private lecturer in protozoology at the University of Hamburg. In 1921 he was appointed full professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Berlin. Here he was given the newly established chair for parasite science and veterinary zoology in 1926. In 1933 Nöller was retired for political reasons. He lived in Erfurt for a year, then at his wife's parents' house in Stadtilm and worked as a practical veterinarian in this region.

On April 10, 1945, Nöller thwarted the demolition of the city's railway viaduct . With three helpers, the explosive device was first defused and then taken away from the railway viaduct. On April 12, 1945, US troops marched into the city. At the end of September he founded the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Stadtilm with the teacher Macherrauch . Later he was briefly appointed to the district veterinarian or to the state administration in Weimar. In February 1946 he was appointed chairman of the Thuringian Geological Association to succeed Johannes Weigelt .

Between 1925 and 1927 Nöller bought two properties and the associated usable space in Gösselborn . One house served as the family residence until 1933. The farm was also operated for experimental purposes, leased after 1934 and sold again in 1949.

Wilhelm Nöller died on September 24, 1964 as a result of an accident during an excursion in Schleusingerneundorf . He was buried in the cemetery in Stadtilm. Nöller was married to Helene Klein, daughter of the farmer and brewery owner Ernst Klein from Stadtilm, since 1919. The couple had two sons: one died early, the other became an important human medicine .

As a parasitologist, Wilhelm Nöller was a universally recognized personality. In the few years he was granted as an academic teacher, he published several specialist books alone or as a co-author, published around 100 of his own and 37 joint articles in specialist journals. 13 of his former employees were appointed full professor.
