Life

Christian Ludwig Nitzsch was born the son of the former pastor of the Wittenberg Church, General Superintendent and first director of the Royal Evangelical Seminary Karl Ludwig and Luise Nitzsch (born Werndorf ) in Beucha.

He then took the extraordinary Department of Botany and natural history and provided as a successor to Karl Heinrich Dzondis 1810 Prosektorat the anatomical theater. He established his scientific reputation at that time with his doctoral thesis " De respiratione animalium ", an important contribution to the comparative anatomy of the respiratory system. In botany owed ​​Nitzsch valuable suggestions to the university mechanic Christian Schkuhr and collected since 1813 Mallophaga.

On October 5, 1815 Nitzsch was appointed the first Professor of Zoology at the University of Halle. There he became director of the Zoological Museum, which had held prior to its acquisition in decay, and provided for its continuation. He restored and prepared himself numerous exhibits and obtained an increase in staffing levels. 1834 took place under his professorship, the move of the collections in the newly constructed main building of the university.

This also includes other ectoparasites are discussed, which he found in the search for Mallophaga. The zoology owes his work "On the form of knowledge, anatomy and evolution of parasites ," "On the Anatomy of Birds" and "The construction of infusoria " important information. Nitzsch who concerned himself as an excellent zoologist with the anatomy of birds, developed specimen preparation and also knew how to inspire in his lectures. He died in 1837 of a stroke.
