Franz Eilhard Schulze
Franz Eilhard Schulze (March 22, 1815 – November 2, 1921) was a German anatomist and zoologist born in Eldena, near Greifswald.
He studied at the Universities of Bonn and Rostock.[1] In 1863, he received his doctorate from Rostock, where he subsequently became a lecturer of anatomy (1864) and an associate professor of comparative anatomy (1865). In 1871 he established the zoological institute at the University of Rostock.[2] Later he was a professor at the Universities of Graz and Berlin.
In 1872, he took part in the "Pomerania" expedition to the North Sea. For several years during the 1890s, he was president of the German Zoological Society (Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft).
Schulze is remembered for his investigations on the anatomy and developmental history of invertebrates, particularly in his research and publications involving sea-sponges. He was especially interested in a class of sponges known as Hexactinellida, which he studied from collections taken from the U.S. "Albatross Expedition" and the British "Challenger Expedition" (1873–76). Schulze also conducted important studies of delicate sponge-like protozoans known as xenophyophores.
