Franz Eilhard Schulze
Franz Eilhard Schulze (March 22, 1840 – November 2, 1921) was a German anatomist and zoologist born in Eldena, near Greifswald. He studied at the universities of Bonn and Rostock. In 1863, he received his doctorate from Rostock, and subsequently became a lecturer of anatomy as well as prosector there. In 1871 he established the zoological institute of the University of Rostock. 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 1890's, he was president of the German Zoological Society (Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft).
Schulze is remembered for his investigations of the anatomy and developmental history of invertebrates, particularly 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 of 1873-76. Schulze also did important studies of xenophyophores, which are delicate sponge-like protozoans.
