ZIMMERMANN, JOHANN GEORG, RITTER VON (1728-
1795), Swiss philosophical writer and physician, was born at Brugg, in the canton of Aargau, on the 8th of December 1728. He studied at Gottingen, where he took the degree of
doctor
  of medicine; and he established his reputation by the dissertation, De irritabilitate (1751). After travelling in Holland and France, he practised as a physician in his native place, and here he wrote Uber die Einsamkeit (1756, emended and enlarged, 178485) and Vom Nationalstolz (1758). These books made a
great
  impression ip Germany, and were translated into almost every European language. They are now only of historical
interest
 . In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentalism, melancholy and enthusiasm; and it was by the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the
interest
  of his contemporaries. Another book by him, written at Brugg, Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft (1764), also attracted much attention. In 1768 he settled at Hanover as private physician of George III. with the title of Hofrat. Catherine II. invited him to the court of St
Petersburg
 , but this invitation he declined. He attended Frederick the
Great
  during that monarch's last illness, and afterwards issued various books about him, of which the
chief
  were Uber Friederich den Grossen and meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode (1788) and Fragmente caber
Friedrich
  den Grossen (1790). These writings display extraordinary

work

personal vanity, and convey a wholly false impression of Frederick's character. Zimmermann died at Hanover on the 7th of October 1795.
See A. Rengger, Zimmermann's Briefe an einige seiner Freunde in der Schweiz (1830); E. Bodemann, Johann Georg Zimmermann, sein Leben and bisher ungedruckte Briefe an ihn (Hann., 1878) ; and R. Ischer, Johann Georg Zimmermann's Leben and Werke (Berne, 1893).
