Biography
Wilhelm Ludwig Peterman was born in Leipzig on November 3, 1806 . From 1826 he studied medicine at the University of Leipzig , however, his area of interest was more and more inclined towards botany. Since 1835, he taught botany, being a privat-docent in Leipzig. In 1841 he became a professor.
From 1838 to 1845, Petermann's book Das Pflanzenreich was published in 50 parts, which was accompanied by a voluminous colorfully illustrated atlas of plants. In 1847 and 1857 it was reprinted. In 1846-1849, in six parts, a monograph of the German flora Deutschlands Flora was published, prepared by Peterman. An illustrated atlas was also published with her.
Wilhelm Ludwig Peterman died on January 27, 1855 .
In 1870, the herbarium of Peterman was transferred to the Leipzig Royal School and merged with the herbarium of Otto Delitch . He subsequently ended up at the University of Leipzig and was completely destroyed during the wars. Most of the duplicates stored in the Berlin Botanical Gardens were also destroyed.
