He studied theology and philosophy at the University of Zürich (1845–47) and philology at the University of Bonn (1847–48). From 1850 to 1858 he was in charge of a private school in his hometown of Männedorf, and afterwards spent several years as a private tutor in Zürich. From 1871 to 1887 he worked as a librarian at the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. He was a catalyst in the creation of the Schweizerische Nationalbibliothek (Swiss National Library).[1][2]
From 1862 he headed the Verein für das Schweizerdeutsche Wörterbuch (Association for the Swiss-German Dictionary) and up until 1896 was editor-in-chief of the Schweizerisches Idiotikon ("Swiss idioticon", a dictionary of the Swiss-German language).[2] In 1881, with Ludwig Tobler, he published its first fascicle.[3] In 1874 he published a treatise on the vocalization of the consonant "n" in Swiss Alemannic ("Staub's law"), titled Die Vokalisierung des N bei den schweizerischen Alemannen.[4][5]
