Coming from Breslau, together with J. Cohnheim (1839-1884), Carl Weigert arrived at the University of Leipzig in 1878. Here, in 1879, he was appointed extraordinary professor at the Department of Pathology. Apart from his growing commitment to autopsy and teaching, due to progressive illness of Cohnheim and the resulting involvement in management of the Department. Weigert studied topical issues of pathology, such as coagulation necrosis and pathogenesis of tuberculosis. His studies into histological staining techniques (principle of elective staining, mordant staining, staining of myelin sheaths) as well as into microtome techniques proved essential to progress in pathology and bacteriology. Weigert left the Leipzig Department of Pathology at the end of March 1885, after the Medical Faculty had failed to appoint him as the successor to Cohnheim. On the 1st of April, 1885, Weigert accepted the position of Director of Senckenberg's Pathological Institute at Frankfurt/Main.
卡尔·魏格特（Carl Weigert）来自布雷斯劳，1878年与J. 科恩海姆（J. Cohnheim，1839 - 1884）一同来到莱比锡大学。1879年，他在莱比锡大学被任命为病理学系的编外教授。除了日益投身于尸体解剖和教学工作外，由于科恩海姆身患重病以及由此导致的参与病理学系管理工作，魏格特还研究了病理学的一些热点问题，如凝固性坏死和结核病的发病机制。他对组织学染色技术（选择性染色原理、媒染染色、髓鞘染色）以及切片技术的研究，被证明对病理学和细菌学的发展至关重要。1885年3月底，在医学院未能任命他为科恩海姆的继任者后，魏格特离开了莱比锡病理学系。1885年4月1日，魏格特接受了美因河畔法兰克福森肯贝格病理研究所所长的职位。
