From 1820 to 1826 he studied medicine at the University of Vienna, where one of his instructors was Joseph Franz von Jacquin. After graduation, he worked as a physician at several locations in Austria. In 1840 he settled as a physician in Steyr, then from 1848 to 1871, served as a regional and district doctor in Salzburg.[1]
He is largely known for his investigations of flora native to Land Salzburg. From 1866 to 1879 he published in seven volumes, "Flora des Herzogthums Salzburg" (Flora of the Duchy of Salzburg}. In 1860 he was co-founder of the Gesellschaft für Salzburger Landeskunde (board member, 1864–74). Numerous taxa with the specific epithet of sauteri are named after him, an example being Draba sauteri.[1]
