Gottsche was a leading authority of Hepaticae. With Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (1776-1858) and Johann Bernhard Wilhelm Lindenberg (1781-1851), he was author of Synopsis Hepaticarum (1844-47), which was a landmark work in the field of hepaticology.

In 1881 he received an honorary doctorate in philosophy from the University of Kiel.[1]

The botanical genus Gottschea in the family Schistochilaceae is named after him.

The standard author abbreviation Gottsche is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[2]
