He studied zoology at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena with Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) and attained a doctorate in 1877. Afterwards he went on an expedition to Africa exploring Zanzibar and then, in East Africa, the east bank of Lake Tanganyika and the southeast of Lake Upemba, which he discovered (1880–1884).
