He studied at the technical school in Karlsruhe and at the University of Heidelberg, where he was a student of Otto Bütschli. In 1885 he obtained his habilitation and in 1888 became an associate professor. In 1891 he succeeded Maximilian Braun as professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Rostock. In 1898 he relocated as a professor to the University of Tübingen.[1]

In the field of phycology, he described the algae species Haematococcus buetschlii.[2]

A species of lizard, Leptosiaphos blochmanni, is named in his honor.[3]
