Biography

He was born at Obergävernitz, near Meissen, and hence called Schulze-Gävernitz. He was educated at Leipzig and Jena, becoming professor in the latter university in 1821, and founding there an agricultural institute, the first connected with a German university. In 1832, he went to Greifswald, where he established a similar training school in Eldena in 1834. These institutions exercised great influence throughout Germany. In 1839 he returned to Jena, where a memorial to him was erected in 1867.

Schulze wrote Deutsche Blätter für Landwirtschaft und Nationalökonomie (1843–59), Nationalökonomie oder Volkswirtschaftslehre (1856), and the posthumous Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Landwirtschaft (1863).
