[Herman Hager (1816-1897)--the heights and depths of his life]
1Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Pharmazie der DDR.
The "Hager", undoubtedly a practical, indispensable encyclopedia of more than 10,000 pages is to be found in every German pharmacy. The changeable life of his author, Hans Hermann Julius Hager, who was born in Berlin, is reflected in a contradictory way in pharmaceutical history. Although he never completed a study he reached the highest degree of pharmaceutical science as a genuine autodidact but was neglected and insulted during life time. He died in very poor circumstances at Neuruppin, where he had come to live at his son's place one year before his death.
