- This is an error of von Tschermak; for Wunderlich headed the clinical Institute of the Jacobs Hospital, for internal medicine, while Wagner headed the medical Policlinic Institute in the Dresdner Straße 56 (according to the files of the University Leipzig)
- von Tschermak (1918). According to address books from Leipzig Hering lived until 1862 in the Blumengasse 3 B I; then until 1865 in the Dörrienstraße 5 III. In 1863 and 1864 he is listed as Privatdocent at the University and Assistant to the Medical Policlinic, in 1865 as Dr.med. and Practising Medical Doctor, Privatdocent at the University
- According to the files of the University Leipzig, Hering was assistant of the Medical Policlinic from 1862 to 1864. Hering was asked to head a clinic that had to take care of the districts of the poor in collaboration with the municipal office for the poor. Hering probably declined because of its lack of personal (Hoffmann, 1909)

- Carl Ludwig (1816 – 1895) was a founder of modern physiology. Before his tenure in Leipzig he was Professor at the Josephinum from 1855 to 1865, first for physiology and zoology, from 1857 onwards for physiology and medical physics. Schröer (1967) has written an extensive biography of Ludwig. In 1995 an international symposium was held to commemorate, in the place where Ludwig Ludwig worked primarily, documented extensively in Pflügers Arch – Eur J Physiol (1996) 432, R7–R138
- It concerned a lecture announced under Hering’s name: Microscopic exercises with explanatory lectures, together with Prof. Dr. Ludwig (Lecture catalogue of the University Leipzig for the winter semester 1865/1866)
- The place of birth of Hering’s wife was Königsbrück, a small city north of Dresden; her father was listed as chancellery and notary of the city court in the local church books. Her family moved to Dresden in 1848 and later to Leipzig. The marriage took place in the Nikolai church on January 3rd, 1863. (Church Archive Leipzig, marriages in the Nikolai church 1862, page 69, number 332). In the files of the Church Archive Leipzig the father of the bride was described as Dr. juris, Kgl. Sächs. Appellationsrat. The date of death of Hering’s wife was communicated to me by the chancellery of the cemetery office of the city of Leipzig

- Johannes Müller (1826, p.45): It is irrelevant, what kind of stimuli it concerns; their action is always in the Energiien des Sinnes«. What he means by “Energies” he then explains using the example of the visual sense: All conceivable stimuli, that are able to affect in any form the substance of the senses, affect these only thus that their dynamics, the sensation of dark that she has without stimulus, drive to her energies, the sensation of light and colour
