  Schellenberg was a botanist in Zurich, Berlin, Kiel and Göttingen. He lectured in Kiel and Göttingen from 1925 to 1934. One of his specialties was the plant family Connaraceae. Schellenberg's family had owned the weekly Wiesbadener Tagblatt newspaper since its founding in the 1840s, and in 1949 Schellenberg restarted the newspaper and served as its publisher.
  
  The plant species Aizoon schellenbergii and the plant genus Schellenbergia are named for Schellenberg.
