He studied natural sciences at the University of Göttingen, and in 1818 took a botanical journey through Hungary and Croatia. In 1822, he became a lecturer at Göttingen, where he later became a professor. In 1837, he was appointed director of its botanical garden.[1] With Georg Ernst Ludwig Hampe he edited the exsiccatae Vegetabilia cellularia in Germania septentrionali praesertim in Hercynia et in agro Göttingensi. Ser. A-D (1832-1845).[2]
The plant genus Bartlingia from the family Rubiaceae is named in his honor.[3]
