Alojzy Rafał Estreicher

Estreicher was born in Krakow where his father Dominik Franciszek Paulo Oesterreicher (1750–1809) was an art professor and amateur entomologist.

From 1809 he was in charge of the botanical garden of Krakow where he reorganized its collections, established an alpinarium (1836), an arboretum (1818) and a tropical greenhouse in 1826–1827.

His students included Ignacy Rafał Czerwiakowski, Stanisław Dembosz, Erazm Majewski, and Józef Riedmüller.

From his collections Carabus estreicheri was described and named by Gotthelf Fischer von Waldheim in 1820.
