In 1824 he received his medical doctorate in Berlin, afterwards settling into a medical practice in Düsseldorf. During his career he served as a medical adviser and as a privy councilor.[2]

The plant genus Ebermaiera (family Acanthaceae) is named after him.[3] He collaborated with botanist Theodor Friedrich Ludwig Nees von Esenbeck (1787-1837) on the textbook "Handbuch der medicinisch-pharmaceutischen Botanik".
