Johann Friedrich Ruthe

Johann Friedrich Ruthe, ruthenium or ruthenium (* April 16, 1788 in Egenstedt near Hildesheim; † August 24, 1859 in Berlin) was a German schoolmaster, botanist and entomologist who developed this field to a specialist for Hymenoptera and Diptera.

With the support of Heinrich Friedrich Link (1767-1851), he began his studies in 1811 at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Here he was, inter alia, by Karl Rudolphi (1771-1832) and Martin Lichtenstein (1780-1857) taught. After graduating he became a teacher at various schools in Berlin and Frankfurt an der Oder. Because of his poor health, he retired in 1842.
