Biography

He was born at Weimar, and educated at the University of Jena (1841–45). He subsequently became an associate professor at the University of Göttingen (1852), relocating to the University of Würzburg in 1858 as a full professor of pathological anatomy. His investigations on pathological histology and teratology were widely noted.

In 1854 he provided an early description of Charcot-Leyden crystals, and in 1862, described what would later become known as Meckel syndrome.
