Life
Friedrich C.A. Neelsen was born to Hans Friedrich Neelsen, deacon of the Uetersen vicarage, and his wife Bertha Sophia (née Lueders). He attended school in Uetersen and later in
Dresden University of Technology. Neelsen died on April 11, 1894, aged 40, presumably due to pathogen exposure during his many years of bacteriological
research. He was known in his time as a recluse who avoided public attention whenever possible, though he was active in the civic affairs of his hometown throughout his life.
