Education and family

Morawitz' parents were Ferdinand Joseph Kaspar Morawitz (1796-1844), a wealthy industrialist and wagon builder, and Amalie Friederike Widemann.[1]

He grew up in St. Petersburg and visited the German school Annenschule.[2] From 1855 to 1859, he studied medicine and zoology in Dorpat, Würzburg and Berlin.[2]

On 27 May 1876, he married Charlotte Bergholz (1858-1939),[2] a pharmacy owner's daughter; they had five children:

  1. Rudolf Morawitz (25 May 1877, St. Petersburg - 23 Jun 1951, Braunschweig), a judge who retired early because of his "non-aryan blood"[3][4][5]
  2. Paul Oskar Morawitz (3 Apr 1879-1936), a well known internist and physiologist.
  3. Charlotte Morawitz (30 Mar 1881-8 Oct 1945 Marburg)

  5. Alice Morawitz (1884 - 1966)

Career

He became Curator of the insect collections at the Zoological Museum of the Russian Academy of Science when Édouard Ménétries retired from that post.[6] He wrote (1862). Vorläufige Diagnosen neuer Coleopteren aus Südost-Sibirien. Bulletin de l'Académie Impériale des Sciences, St. Petersburg, 5: 231-265.
