Friedrich Gottlieb Stebler

Friedrich Gottlieb Stebler (1852-1935)

Friedrich Gottlieb Stebler (11 August 1852, Safnern – 7 April 1935) was a Swiss agriculturalist and ethnographer.

Following classes at the agricultural school in Rütti, he studied agriculture at the Universities of Halle and Leipzig. In 1875 he founded a private Samen-Kontrollstation (seed control station) in Mattenhof bei Bern.

In 1876 he gained his venia legendi at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zurich), where he taught classes in agricultural-related subjects until 1901. As an agriculturalist he published works on forage crops, alpine agriculture and pastoralism. From 1889 to 1916 he was editor of the Schweizerischen Landwirtschaftlichen Zeitung.[1]

As his career progressed, he developed an interest in ethnography, making frequent visits to Valais in order to study the lives and customs of its population.[2]
