Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann (8 December 1728, in Brugg, Aargau – 7 October 1795, in Hanover) was a Swiss philosophical writer, naturalist, and physician.
==Life and works==
He studied at Göttingen, where he took the degree of a doctor of medicine, and established his reputation by the dissertation, ''De irritabilitate'' (1751). After traveling in the Netherlands and France, he practised as a physician in Brugg, and wrote ''Über die Einsamkeit'' (''"Of solitude"'', 1756, 1784–85) and ''Vom Nationalstolz'' (''"Of national pride"'', 1758). These books made a great impression in Germany, and were translated into almost every European language. Their impact was great.
In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentalism, melancholy and enthusiasm; and it was by the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the interest of his contemporaries. Another book by him, written at Brugg, ''Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft'' (''"Of experience in pharmacology"'', 1764), also attracted much attention. In 1768 he settled at Hanover as private physician of George III with the title of a Hofrat. Catherine II invited him to the court of St Petersburg, but this invitation he declined.
He attended Frederick the Great during that monarch's last illness, and afterwards issued various books about him, of which the chief were ''Über Friederich den Grossen und meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode'' (''"On Frederick the Great and my conversation with him shortly before his death",'' 1788) and ''Fragmente über Friedrich den Grossen'' (''"Fragments on Frederick the Great"'', 1790). These writings display extraordinary personal vanity, and convey a wholly false impression of Frederick's character.
