Biography
He was a pastor in Galle. In the essay "Nützliche Vorschläge von Aufrichtung einer mathematischen Handwerkerschule bey der Stadt Halle" (1705), he presented the first project for the establishment of a real school , which he opened in 1708. Zemler’s studies of astronomy were expressed in the organization of various astronomical instruments by him and in compiling the work “Coniglobium. Globus astronomicus. Methodus triplex inveniendae longitudinis maritimae 1) per acus magneticas verticales, 2) per singularem aestimationem viae maritimae, 3) per horologia solaria et automata ”(Halle, 1723). He made many astronomical instruments and some physical ones. The Berlin Academy of Sciences elected Zemler in 1731 as correspondent.
