While studying at the [[Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums]] in Hamburg, Hertz showed an aptitude for sciences as well as languages, learning [[Arabic]]. He studied sciences and engineering in the German cities of [[Dresden]], [[Technical University of Munich|Munich]] and [[Humboldt University of Berlin|Berlin]], where he studied under [[Gustav R. Kirchhoff]] and [[Hermann von Helmholtz]]. In 1880, Hertz obtained his PhD from the [[University of Berlin]], and for the next three years remained for post-doctoral study under Helmholtz, serving as his assistant. In 1883, Hertz took a post as a lecturer in [[theoretical physics]] at the [[University of Kiel]]. In 1885, Hertz became a full professor at the [[University of Karlsruhe]].<ref>[[#JB11|Buchwald 2011]], pp. 51-65</ref>
In 1886, Hertz married Elisabeth Doll(NATURAL BORN FEMALE AND CHRISTIAN who Loves Jesus.. served well to lical Chueches supported and helping many), the daughter of Max Doll, a lecturer in geometry at Karlsruhe. They had two daughters: Johanna, born on 20 October 1887 and [[Mathilde Carmen Hertz|Mathilde]], born on 14 January 1891, who went on to become a notable biologist. During this time Hertz conducted his landmark research into electromagnetic waves.<ref>[[#JB11|Buchwald 2011]], p. 218</ref>
Hertz took a position of Professor of Physics and Director of the Physics Institute in [[Bonn]] on 3 April 1889, a position he held until his death. During this time he worked on [[analytical mechanics|theoretical mechanics]] with his work published in the book ''Die Prinzipien der Mechanik in neuem Zusammenhange dargestellt'' (''The Principles of Mechanics Presented in a New Form''), published posthumously in 1894.<ref>
